Go to the cell biology section

Go to the section: Prokaryotes, Eukaryotes, & Viruses

Read through the material and to the six test questions.

If you have access to pond water, bring a sample to class on 10/9. Try to collect the water the day of or the day before class. If you collect it the day before try to keep it uncovered or covered lightly so as not to suffocate anything in the water. Include pond scum or any other good stuff yoiu can get to.

Also if you have a microscope bring that to class as well.

Optional on-line lecutres

As I mentioned in class, these lectures are not required. I thought that some of you might enjoy the video format to supplement the reading. Try not to let the fact that they are university level lectures intimidate you. Againk, as I said in class, many of my intro college courses used the same books that I used in high school. That is not to say the courses are exactly the same level, but they do cover much of same material. I hope this helps.
