Go to #932
This is the lab we went through in class.
Read through lab activity #1 Robert Hooke's Cells. We do not do any of this activity in class
Do the Robert Hooke reading activity
Activity #2: Plant and Animal Cells
You should have drawings of the onion cells, bottom side of lettuce leaf, and cheek cells
Answer questions 3, 4, and 5 from the animal/plant cell lab. Keep this in your lab notebook, you do not have to turn in the answers but we will discuss them in class next week.
Complete the "History of Biological Ideas" reading
Bonus Lab Activity
Pond Water
Since we only had one pond water sample and did not see much you can coplete this for exta credit.
Collect a sample of pond water. Scum is good. Examine the pond water and draw what you see.
Below is a link that will give you examples of what you will see so you know what to look for. Since not everyone has a microscope you can complete this activity in a group if you like. I believe that Gabe and Emily S. have microscopes. Write up a lab report with your observations.
