classroom assessment to support learning. However‚ the ‘accountability’ juggernaut was not for turning‚ even though the Blair dynasty’s clarion call of “Education! Education! Education!” had not yet begun to ring hollow. It was the day we decided to up the ante and make it our target to resurrect assessment by teachers‚ not to abandon testing‚ but to refocus assessment activities where they should be‚ on pupil learning. The King’s College pair had been long-term advocates of formative assessment

AP Biology Sunday‚ October 24‚ 2010 Enzyme Lab Write-Up Purpose: To observe how an enzyme affect the speed of chemical reaction. To describe how the concentration of an enzyme affects its ability to work. Hypothesis: Depending on the concentration of the catalase which the disk is soaked in‚ it will have a direct correlation on the rate of hydrogen peroxide being broken down into oxygen gas. Prediction: Since the rate of reaction can be lowered by the addition of

“too acidic to justify the worth of drinking every morning for the miniscule amounts of vitamin C it contains” (Dr. Kenny and Henderson). It has been found that orange juice‚ while it does contain vitamin C‚ does not contain enough vitamin C to live up to the “super food” standard that was set for it in the past. Instead of assisting one’s immune system‚ it has now been discovered that due to the naturally high acidity of orange juice‚ they actually are detrimental to ones health. Drinking orange

Planaria are commonly known as flatworms. Ordinarily‚ these flatworms tend to stay near the edges or walls (Akiyama & Shitaro). They receive oxygen through their skin. They may not look like humans but their reactions to certain drugs or stimulants are quite similar to those of humans. Caffeine is known to increase individual’s energy and physical activity‚ leading to the question of how different concentrations of caffeine would affect planaria’s physical activity. Low doses of caffeine enhance

Josh P. AP Biology 12-10-13 Lab Writeup The Effect of Transformation of pGLO in Bacteria Background/Objectives/Hypothesis: Genetic transformation is a process that primarily is inserting new DNA into an organism to change that organism’s trait. This process has many useful benefits when used correctly in different organisms. In this lab‚ bacteria was transformed by inserting DNA for Green Fluorescent Proteins. The DNA for these proteins were taken from bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea

Photosynthesis Lab Kozlowski Kendal Schweiss Hour 6 Introduction: Photosynthesis is carbohydrate production using light and chlorophyll. It is a process when green plants and other organisms turn carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen‚ using light energy trapped by chlorophyll. The rate of photosynthesis can be measured by either the disappearance of substrate or the accumulation of product. 2H2O + CO2 + light -> carbohydrate (CH2O) + O2 + H2O There is a spongy mesophyll

Chemistry Lab Write-Up Title: Paper Chromatography of Powdered Beverage Mix Purpose/Objective: The purpose is to be able to use liquid chromatography to separate dyes in a powdered beverage mix‚ calculate the Rf values for each dye‚ and rank the polarity of each dye present. Hypothesis: If we are to use the liquid chromatography to investigate the different dyes‚ then I think the different dyes will come up having different polarities and Rf values. Procedure/Method: Draw a line across

Egg-speriment Write-up Part 1- Purpose: Why did we do the experiment? The purpose of this experiment was to understand how osmosis works and that the cell membrane is selectively permeable. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane. Many cells cannot function without adequate water‚ so cells depend on osmosis. When a cell is selectively permeable‚ it means some substances can pass through while others can’t. Many examples of these were shown throughout
