Class Expectations
Photosynthesis
100
The organelle where light is captured in a plant cell.
What is chloroplasts.
100
The organelle that performs cellular respiration in ALL plant and animal cells.
What are mitochondria?
100
It converts food into energy, allowing us to think, breathe, and move. Basically, we would not be alive without it.
What is cellular respiration?
100

The expectation during the first five minutes of class when students are silent, working independently, and focused while attendance is taken.

What is Bell-Ringer

100
The organelle in which photosynthesis occurs.
What are Chloroplasts?
200
This is where water enters the plants.
What are roots? or What is the ground?
200
The process cells use to take food energy and turn it into ATP.
What is Cellular Respiration?
200
Increased trees means that there is more photosynthesis occurring. More photosynthesis means there is more food for animals, which means that more animals can live.
What is the effect of planting more trees in an area?
200

The CHAMPS expectation that students remain in their assigned seats unless given permission, especially during independent work or when a substitute is present.

What is Movement?

200
Carbon Dioxide, Water
What are the inputs of photosynthesis?
300
The place carbon dioxide comes from before entering the leaf.
What is the atmosphere?
300
Glucose and Oxygen
What are the inputs of cellular respiration?
300
The cycle that keeps the amounts of carbon dioxide and oxygen fairly constant in the atmosphere
What is the cycle made by photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
300

The classroom expectation demonstrated when students complete their own work, follow directions, and accept consequences for their choices.

What is Accountability?

300
Glucose and Oxygen.
What are the outputs of Photosynthesis?
400
Photosynthesis converts sun energy into food, making energy available for plants and animals. It also makes Oxygen, which we need to breathe.
Why is photosynthesis so important?
400
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP
What are the outputs of cellular respiration?
400
An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would increase the amount of this process happening.
What is photosynthesis?
400

The conversation level used during direct instruction time. 

What is an Level 0?

400
It is not a physical input to photosynthesis, but is required for the reaction to proceed. Because of this, we write this form of energy above the arrow in the chemical equation for photosynthesis.
What is sunlight?
500
The holes in the bottom of leaves through which carbon dioxide enters the leaf.
What are stomata?
500
The energy currency of the cell
What is ATP
500
This process will screech to a halt if Sacramento goes into a major drought in the summer?
What is photosynthesis?
500

The way a student can receive help during group or partner work. 

What is Ask 3 before me?

500
Carbon Dioxide + Water ---> Sugar + Oxygen
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
