On a PPT slide, include the graph, as well as the following: Question: How does _________ affect germination of garbanzo beans? Claim: Answer the question above with a one sentence answer that is correct and complete. Evidence: Summarize the data in your graph using numbers and trends. Discuss what the slope of each trend line tells you. Reasoning: Using biology discussed in class, give an explanation for what you saw in your results. If your results did not match the expected outcome, discuss this and give possible reasons for why this occurred. 11/1/17: Long Day and Short Day Flowering Plants notes (video) (tutorial) Plant pollination and flowers (TEDtalk: The Beautiful Tricks of Flowers) Practice quiz for Friday's test (some are not from this unit) Time to complete PPT slide HW: 9.4 test next class!
