KIDNEY DISECTION!

IN CLASS:
-Discussed rules and expectations of the kidney dissection
-Kidney dissection

HOMEWORK:
-Finish kidney dissection lab (UP 23-28)
-Unit test on Friday

KIDNEY DISSECTION:
The dissection was not bad at all. We had to cut off the fat tissue and then cut the kidney in half and examine and figure out the different parts. Then Mrs. Stein quizzed each lab group by pointing to a part of the kidney and asking each person what she was pointing to. All in all i think it wasn't too bad and everything went pretty well. Most people finished early. Also, if you were not in class today you are still able to complete the questions that go along with the lab.

Above are some pictures of what we talked about in class and what we veiwed in our lab.

IN CLASS:

*First, we showed Mrs. Stein our homework from last night. Which was a pre-lab on page 8 of our packets, and our bubble maps for chapter 7.1 in our text books. Mrs. Stein also stamped our stamp sheets.

*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:

Major Cellular Regions:

*Plamsa Membrane - outer boundary of a cell

*"Nucleus" - contains DNA

*Cytoplasm - gel-like substance between the cell membrane and nucleus

*Cyto- Cell

*Plasm- Liquid

HOMEWORK:

*Read 7.2 with organelle chart- due on Monday

*UP 9-14- due Monday

*Extra Credit

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!!!
