In this lab, YOU are the scientists!
• You will be:
- Learning background knowledge and techniques
- Applying what you learn by designing and carrying out your own experiment with your team
- Creating and presenting a research poster to showcase your findings

The 1st tool you’ll need:
• Science Journal
![Page 7: Power of Sunlight Investigation Ms. Schraeder 10-12 th Grade/ Concepts of Biology Greater Nanticoke Area High School Nanticoke, PA Spring 2011](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062807/5697c0041a28abf838cc46b8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Your Science Journal is…
• Your silent partner “on the bench,” open and ready, before work can begin.
• A place to record what you see and do.
• A place to record what you THINK about what you see and do.
• A place to ask questions about experiences.
![Page 8: Power of Sunlight Investigation Ms. Schraeder 10-12 th Grade/ Concepts of Biology Greater Nanticoke Area High School Nanticoke, PA Spring 2011](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062807/5697c0041a28abf838cc46b8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Your Science Journal will…
• Serve as a record of all observations, thoughts, and feelings as you work.
• Contain responses to assigned writing prompts, like, “Today, I noticed that…” or “I wonder what would happen if…”
• Include drawings, diagrams, data tables, graphs, etc.
• Be graded and scored with a rubric.

Science Journal Rules:
• Write your name on the front cover.
• No ripped out pages or torn corners.
• No doodling that doesn’t relate to science.
• Notebooks should only be used for science class only.
• Date each page.
• Be colorful and love your notebook!

Power of Sunlight Investigation Essential Question
• How can using the scientific method help clarify the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
![Page 14: Power of Sunlight Investigation Ms. Schraeder 10-12 th Grade/ Concepts of Biology Greater Nanticoke Area High School Nanticoke, PA Spring 2011](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062807/5697c0041a28abf838cc46b8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Power of Sunlight Investigation Objectives
• To better understand the scientific method, particularly that science is not a linear process- it includes repeated activities throughout the inquiry cycle.
• To gain a better understanding of the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration in plants.

SCENARIO:
• Tanner and Tracy had been saving to build their own house ever since they met ten years earlier.
![Page 16: Power of Sunlight Investigation Ms. Schraeder 10-12 th Grade/ Concepts of Biology Greater Nanticoke Area High School Nanticoke, PA Spring 2011](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062807/5697c0041a28abf838cc46b8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Tanner was an artist who worked in stained glass and had completed several large commissions in local churches and businesses.
![Page 17: Power of Sunlight Investigation Ms. Schraeder 10-12 th Grade/ Concepts of Biology Greater Nanticoke Area High School Nanticoke, PA Spring 2011](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062807/5697c0041a28abf838cc46b8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Tracy owned a florist shop and nursery and loved exotic plants.
![Page 18: Power of Sunlight Investigation Ms. Schraeder 10-12 th Grade/ Concepts of Biology Greater Nanticoke Area High School Nanticoke, PA Spring 2011](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062807/5697c0041a28abf838cc46b8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Tracy envisioned a large family room with a cathedral ceiling and a vast glass wall to provide plenty of light for her to grow a variety of exotic tropical houseplants.
![Page 19: Power of Sunlight Investigation Ms. Schraeder 10-12 th Grade/ Concepts of Biology Greater Nanticoke Area High School Nanticoke, PA Spring 2011](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062807/5697c0041a28abf838cc46b8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Tanner thought this was a great idea because it would allow him to showcase is art in the stained glass wall.
![Page 20: Power of Sunlight Investigation Ms. Schraeder 10-12 th Grade/ Concepts of Biology Greater Nanticoke Area High School Nanticoke, PA Spring 2011](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062807/5697c0041a28abf838cc46b8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• The house, and particularly Tanner’s stained glass wall, was a huge aesthetic success and were even featured in an issue of Better Homes and Gardens.
![Page 21: Power of Sunlight Investigation Ms. Schraeder 10-12 th Grade/ Concepts of Biology Greater Nanticoke Area High School Nanticoke, PA Spring 2011](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062807/5697c0041a28abf838cc46b8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• How well do you think Tracy’s plants grew? Why?
