Have a wonderful winter break!  

Metabolic Rate Lab Parts for lab due before Winter Break!

• Background Info:  your background for your question.  Do not repeat the background I listed for the procedure of the lab.
• Focused Question (says what you're doing, identifies variables)
• Variables identified (manipulated, responding, controlled-at least 5)
• Procedure: includes how variables are controlled, number of trials, and enough detail to follow
• Data:  organized, labelled, must calculate uncertainty and averages.  You get to pick the data you use from the class databases, but put it in your own data table format.
• Data Processing:  calculations (show 1 sample of each type), t-tests or correlations or both, graphs (avoid bar graphs, include uncertainty bars)
• Conclusion (typically 3 paragraphs), explain/discuss results using data from the investigation, discuss sources of error/uncertainty, suggest specific improvements for the sources of error/uncertainty that you mentioned

The Week of 12/1-12/5

• Mon 12/1:  Brief notes on glycolysis and the link reaction.  Finish Cell Respiration worksheet and get it checked off (tomorrow ok too for getting it checked off).  SPARK lecture on the marbled murrelet.  Read Chapter 9.
• Tues 12/2:  Finish checking off Cell Respiration Worksheet.  Notes on the Krebs (Citric Acid) Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain.  Introduce Metabolic Rate Lab and do trials to practice the protocol.  Read Chapter 9.
• Thurs 12/4:  Take data for the Metabolic Rate Lab and enter data into class database.  Discuss lab write up, due before Winter Break through turnitin.com.  Review oxidative phosphorylation and the electron transport chain.  Read Chapter 9.
