Monday,FUN-DAYY!!

Today in class we turned in our 6 questions for section 1.1. This was the homework assigned last Friday.


For tonight, our homework is to read the appendix on pages A-14 and A-15 and look at the virtual microscope. Also, a write up for the Rip-O-Meter lab that we are currently working on is due on September 10th. Pages 31 and 32 are good sources to help you get started with your lab write up.

During class we first finished up our pre lab questions and turned those in. After completing the pre lab, we then went on to start the Rip-O-Meter lab. My group decided that we were going to test out what would happen if we used different size leaves. We pierced our leaves at the point where all the veins came together because we agreed that would be the strongest part of the leaf. We also talked about making sure we place the pennies in slowly every time because the experiment wouldn't be controlled if we were throwing pennies in one trial and gently placing them in the next. Most groups just finished the testing part of the lab when class ended.

Also, bring in your lab books and goggles to class this week. We will be using the lab books in class next week.
The next scribe is Julie.
