The way this works:

• If you are interested in doing a project claim it by inserting your name(s) below the project description in red.see below
• If you claim a project and don't do it your point total is reduced by half of the project amount. i.e. don't complete a 40 point project, lose 20 pts and the max you can earn on the 200 pt pile is 180

Project  #members, pts

Project description  blah blah blah blah

Period 7  Billiebob B., Frankie J, Tony S.

Period 7  Tom A, Dick B, Harry C

Period 9  Eva X, Marline D, Angilina J

Possible projects: (feel free to suggest your own!)

Spontaneous generation: Repeat the experiments. 2 people up to 50 pts

Repeat the experiment and write up a lab report.

Period 7 - Ailie Steir, Lauren Gardner

Nitrogen cycle / fishtank   Max 4 people up to 100 pts depending on quality

Research the nitrogen cycle and develop a lesson plan to teach it or write an explanatory paper about the nitrogen cycle using the fishtank as a model

Track the various components of the Nitrogen cycle in the fish tank ( & understand whats going on)

Period. 9 Jaime Hanks, Jen Lifhits, Cara Grattan 

Energy drink experiments  Max 4 per group 50 pts

Design and conduct an experiments to test the claims made by an energy drink.

• Output: Complete lab report submitted by the group. A complete, researched discussion of ingredients and effects  as well as replicated results.
• Your group must get your hypothesis and  test methodology approved.

  P. 7 David Kerlejza,Conor Brooks,Jenna Gomes,Jimmy Mulpeter

• P. 9 Stephanie Duffy, Lindsay Daniels, Caitlyn Logan

MIT lectures Closed. (we already took the test)

MIT lectures Individual (but you can watch them together)  30 pts

• Watch video and submit complete notes

1-04 Lecture 04_ Biochemistry III.mp4

1-05 Lecture 05_ Biochemistry IV.mp4

You can get these through the iTunes store -->iTunes U -->science --> biology (view all) and look for MIT 7.014 introductory biology. Graham Walker

P.9 Eric Izydorczak 1-04 lecture

Lab documentation  Max 4 per group. Points vary depending on the complexity of the lab. If multiple submissions for the same lab are received, max points go to the best one.

• Use media to make a stand alone presentation about a laboratory exercise.
• All elements of the lab must be presented:
  • Theoretical concepts
  • Safety
  • Techniques
  • results
  • Analysis
• Output should be able to be shown to any of the science faculty and clearly demonstrate the lab.
