 * FROG DISSECTION-SIGN UP || Week of June 7-10 || Go to the [|frog dissection sign up] if you would like to participate- this is strictly optional. Please sign up by this Friday June 3rd so we can plan for the numbers needed for each lab session. [|Frog DIssection lab] can be previewed here. Here is a [|virtual lab] for those who do not wish to do the actual one or you missed the lab.. Use the lab link here to the questions and instructions and view the dissected frog. This is can also be used as a review later after the lab. NOTE: the "cloaca" arrow on this virtual lab is actually on the large intestine and then leads down into the cloaca- it is not clear in the label.The small intestine is not labeled-it is after the duodenum and part is seen as the thin tube going into the large intestine. ||

This will be collected, given a completion grade and will be handed back later when we have the cell lab analysis open lab quiz. || B:Mar 8 || Use the text to find the functions of each of the organelles listed in the notes and check off what type of cell(s) they are found in. remember that a virus is not a cell! READ about the different organelles and try to narrow the function descriptor to 1 or 2 key words. Do this in pencil so you can make corrections and write small to allow any additional info given in class. Per 2B and 4B**- do the diagramming wrong/right sheet also.** || B: Mar 8 || Under the Cell unit find several documents for our lab. READ the Instructions **for using the digital microscopes so you will be better prepared for class. Choose the** digital scope groups** to find out, based on where your lab table is located, which organisms you will be doing on the first day (they will be highlighted in blue and maroon). If you have not done so, please join the yhsbiology wiki so you can upload your digital work. Check out the samples under the organisms so you can see what you will be doing! ||
