Wednesday 9.1.10

Soo what did we do in class..? Well we finished up the microscope lab and did a little before the quest (test+ quiz like thing) review.

For the first 20 minutes, we finished up the microscope lab and if we had time we could finish the pages in the (up) packet which were 33-37. We did not go through all of the organisms but went through the microscope lab questions.                                                                                                                                       

 1. It is best to go low power to high power.

2. The organism is always going/ or is in the opposite direction. 

 3. Times the lens power with the low/medium/high power to get your total power 

  4. Sometimes perfect circles could have air bubbles. So you should push down on it.

 5. If it is too dark then adjust the diaphragm.

  6. If you can’t see the object in high power then adjust it back to low power.

 7. If you do everything right but still can’t see the specimen then try moving the stage.

 For the test there are tons of quick method practice problem and what I mean is independent, dependant variable and also control group. There will be a situation where you will need to figure out the   independent, dependant variable and also control group. Also there will be graphs for the quest. Then there should be a conclusion of the graph.

1. There should be a title
2. Bottom should be independent variable.   3. The left side should be the dependant variable.   
4. You should put titles for them both. 

In summary of this all, you should STUDY for the quest. Also look at page 1 for the chapter objectives so you can see if you need to study something, if you don’t know how to. Finish pages 33-37 and test is tomorrow!
