This is the website for getting your assignments and resources for their completion. This site will be updated as needed so stay tuned! Labs to due: LAb 1: Task is to find the density of water ;3 trials required; graph the data points (use a line graph); Write up a complete report. You will have to demonstrate measurement skills for mass and volume determinations. Lab 2: Task is to find the density of a solid object (marble);compare the volume of the sphere with observed and expected or calculated measurements for determination of experimental error.You will need to find the volume of a sphere formula and your math teacher is good starting place. Write lab report using the data. Lab 3. (Skills lab) Use of the microscope practical. Be able to set up and view a prepared slide. Know the parts and types of microscopes we are using. Lab 4. A review to find the density of a tissue model- a sponge.Measure its mass, volume to determine its dry density. Measure a known volume of water (H2O) and place it in a petri dish. Place the sponge by it and observe what happens. Describe the action- what is it called? Reweigh the wet sponge and find its new mass. Determine with your data you've collected the ratio of the dryweight to the wet weight to determine the percentage and volumetric water weight. What if we started out in the reverse order of this? Ok let's do it. Allow the wet bit of sponge to sit over night till it is dry. ( How could we speed up this drying (process?) How could this information be helpful in determining the water weight of some organism? Optional lab: Is there a difference between a tadpole and same species of frogs average tissue density?? Collections: All collections will entail identifications with common names and scientific names that are neatly typed out with hte collectors name, date and class. For chapter 25 about animals we chose to do insects namely coleoptera or beetles for this year.Each student is to collect, mount and label neatly three (3) insects. We will identify them later. Our next mission is to collect three different tree leaves from three different types of trees for pressing, identifing and labeling neatly. A pencil rub is also required from each of the three collected leaves- this can be done prior to pressing and drying. the leaves will be laminated for presentation. 3rd mission is to find with research three different types of medicinal plants. A picture is to be included along with what it is used for, its description and where it is found. Also, indicate how it is used. Try using http://www.ibiblio.org/ for a good reference site.
