*Next, we looked over Michelles's blog from yesterday and did stars and wishes

*Then, we took notes on our new unit that we started yesterday: Types of cells

*Some people took a microscope test to see if they could get a slide in focus within one minute (not many people did well :P)

*Lastly, we began our lab- UP 9-14

NOTES:

ABOUT THE LAB:

For the lab, we got into our groups from before during the Rip-o-meter lab. Then, we took a slide, the first one was of an Eloda Leaf, and then put it under the microscope and looked at it under high power. After that, we recorded a picture of what we saw and gave the picture a title and wrote down the magnification that we veiwed it under. Next, we answered some questions about what we saw. For the slide after that we did the exact same thing except we put a drop of iodine on the Eloda Leaf. The slide we were to observe after that, was of a human cheek cell. However, most of us (including my group) did not get a chance to complete the whole lab.

HAPPY ALMOST WEEKEND AND HOMECOMING!!!! :)

Our next scribe is Jose!!!
