 * Watch "Powering the Cell: Mitochondria"
 * Listen to "Let's Go Down the Electron Transport Chain"
 * Listen to "Let's Go Down the Electron Transport Chain"

//Here is a Movie Maker Tutorial// ||  || Use Windows Movie Maker, Mac's iMovie, or another tool to create a short film about oxidative phosphorylation with "Let's Go Down the Electron Transport Chain" serving as the background music. Be creative and produce a film in which the music complements the images you select.

Once complete, post your film to YouTube and include a link to your video on the [|Discussion Board].

 * Producing With Photosynthesis**

 * **Readings** ||  || **Tasks/Assignments** ||
 * Watch My Video Lecture on Photosynthesis

 * **Readings** ||  || **Tasks/Assignments** ||
 * Install Camtasia on your computer

Refer to the Camtasia Tutorials as needed throughout your project ||  || Photosynthesis Karaoke!

In the previous section on respiration you heard the song "Let's Go Down the Electron Transport Chain," now it's your turn to be a songwriter! Write and record a song that deals with some aspect of photosynthesis. Once you have your song, record and upload it to YouTube. Don't worry, you don't have to upload a video of you singing. I would recommend creating a PowerPoint with the lyrics to your song and recording over them. This will allow others to easily follow along (think back to those "Sing-A-Long" videos from your childhood, same principle here). Camtasia is a helpful tool for recording over PowerPoint slides.

Post your lyrics and the link to your video on the [|Discussion Board]. ||

__//**Combined Assessment for Photosynthesis & Respiration**//__

 * **Readings** ||  || **Tasks/Assignments** ||
 * Peruse ToonDoo ||  || Use ToonDoo to create a comic strip demonstrating the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration.

Once complete, post to the course wiki and review/comment on the comic strips of your classmates. ||

==Note: In practice, the video lectures would be much more engaging. These linked videos are from my first semester teaching when I recorded practice sessions for self-improvement, I like to think that I have greatly improved since those days. ==
