AP Biology: Working with the Labs September 28, 2013 Waksman Institute
Greetings! • Help yourself to coffee and doughnuts! • Please sign in and pick up an index card. • On the index, write: • Your name • The subjects you currently teach/responsible for • A technique in AP Bio that works for you
Agenda • Introduction • Take on the role of student as we complete the photosynthesis lab and summarize our findings • Complete a peer review of our findings • Resume our roles as teachers and delve into the science practices and how they relate to AP Biology curriculum and framework • Become familiar with the other labs and how they relate to the science practices
Introduction • AP Biology Leadership Academy • http://apbio.bscs.org/ • APSII • AP Biology Community • NABT Ecosystem http://www.nabt.org/ecosystem/
Let’s consider the roles of teachers and students in AP Biology • What are the characteristics of effective teaching and learning in an AP Biology class? • What are the teachers doing? • What are the students doing?
Investigation 5Photosynthesis • What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis? • Go to mw.concord.org/modeler • Scroll down to harvest light • Read and answer question on pages 1 and 2
What is light? What did you learn about the relationship between light and green leaves?
Reporting Your Findings • Graph your data • What are your trends, changes or differences? • What do those trend/changes/differences mean? • Write a caption under your graph. Link the trends/changes/differences to what they mean.
Peer Review • Read the other posters and consider what they are reporting. • Read and consider the work. • Write a post-it note beginning with “I wonder……..” or “I noticed……..”
Reflection • As students, what did you do? • What other concepts in biology are related to this? • What new information did you reveal by doing your experiment?
The Investigations—one way students learn • Science Practices and Investigations • Levels of Inquiry • FRQs
Basic Tenets of Teaching • We can’t know where we’re going, until we acknowledge where we’ve been • We need to connect ideas and provide a framework where we hang our ideas and concepts. • We have to talk about how we will get there.
