Did you know that Luke, the kid in Modern Family, is a freshmen at UCLA? He plays a kid with ADHD who uses gummy worms as shoe laces but is really super smart and got into UCLA, the most applied to university in the country. Go Luke! I mean, go actor who plays Luke!
The chemistry students reviewed naming ionic compounds and determining the formulas of ionic compounds given their constituent positive and negative ions. Then we had a quiz that I bet everyone did great on. I'll grade it and find out.
The AP Biology students conducted the Photosynthesis Lab today. It went great! The students learned that by using DPIP, a compound that readily accepts the high energy electrons produced by photosynthesis, we can determine the rate of photosynthesis. The DPIP is dark blue in its "not reduced" state. Once it begins gaining electrons, it turns from the dark blue color to clear. We measured that transformation by using a spectrophotometer. The results were ideal. Hooray!
