Hello Biology and Life Science Teachers,
You are invited to a free PD session for high school biology teachers and middle
school science teachers on Saturday, October 25, 9-12 AM. Our PD will include:
 Photosynthesis Investigation where students will learn how to measure the
rate of photosynthesis and design an investigation of factors that influence
the rate of photosynthesis
 Using Models to Understand Photosynthesis, a discussion activity
 How our Muscles get the Energy they need for Athletic Activity, a
discussion activity that compares and contrasts aerobic respiration and
anaerobic fermentation
 Comparing and Contrasting Photosynthesis vs. Respiration, a
presentation by Dr. Fevzi Daldal, Professor of Biology
