lab 4

materials: TLC strip, Microscope, elodea, other plant, water, solvent

The goal of todays lab was to understand how plants store there energy and how they get their pigment from the son. we did this by placing chlorophyll on the TLC strip, and also by looking at the elodea and other plant under the microscope and observed the pigment change and levels

Lab 3

Materials: auger plate, dropper, methyline blue, IKI,  Petri dish, glucose, dialisis tubing, weigh bags, elodea, NaCl, charcoal

Goal: Our goal for the experiment was to explore the role osmosis and diffusion play in the cell measure the difference traveled between IKI and Methyline blue in the auger plate by the end of it the methylene blue had expanded 1mm all around and the IKI had expanded 2mm. then we looked at the difference between an Isotonic and hypotonic elodea, and charcoal under the microscope, and saw elements of Brownian movement in both.

Lab 2

materials: Light microscope, dissecting microscope, Iodine, water, slides, pictures, coli, paramecium, volvox, potatoes, onions, flies

Today we looked at a variety of items under the microscope to help us get the hang of the microscope, we ended the class with a simulation of a forensic crime scene as we tried to find out who stole Dr. J's beer
