Weeks 5+6

• Mon 9/24:  10 minutes to assemble Cell Model Projects.  Evaluate cell models.  Do your own and 3 others and turn in the evaluation sheet.  Continue with the Microscope Lab.  View cork, pond water, elodea, and human cheek cells.  Make labeled drawings for the elodea and cheek cell.  Read 1.3 if not already.
• Wed 9/26:  Critters are in!  Go over how to calculate magnification.  Then view and draw:  Volvox, Hydra, Amoeba, Paramecium, and Scenedesmus.  Make sure that you view the first 2 and hopefully 3 today because they are the most likely to perish before Friday!
• Fri 9/28:  Finish viewing and drawing critters.  Also, look at bacteria through the prepared slide set up in the room, view and draw onion, and catch up on what you missed.  Make sure that you have shown a calculation of magnification for each drawing and that you answer the lab questions completely.  Staple drawings to the hand-out and turn in either today or Tuesday 10/2.
• Tues 10/2:  Turn in Microscope Lab if not already.  Basics of plasma membranes and do the Bubble Lab in class! Do the Data-Based Question (DBQ) on pp. 28-30 in your notebook.   Read 1.4.
• Thurs 10/4:  A few notes on membranes, including endocytosis, exocytosis, and vesicle movement.  Do Paramecium Digestion Lab.  Get DBQ from 28-30 checked off and go over it.
