Tuesday we will learn how to use microscopes and the names and functions of the various parts. Students will set up their science journals for an introductory lab on microscope use.
As a notebook assignment, you should draw and label a diagram of a microscope. Create two column notes for the microscope parts and their functions as found in your text on pages 802-803.
Setting up your science journal:
-You should use a blue of black pen to record information and data in your journal. Take your time to write neatly. Your journal should be organized and legible. Write in complete sentences when analyzing data and recording observations. You may write on both sides of your paper, but may not want to if it is messy (sometimes the ink goes through the paper). Drawings may be done in pencil initially and outlined in pen later.
-Number your pages consistently (all the same place and size number) beginning on the first page with (1). Number from 1 to 50 just to get us started. You can finish numbering later when you have more time.
-Page (1) will be your title page for the journal. Center your name on the top line; write AC Life Science Journal below your name; Teacher- Mrs. Carroll follows; and 2005-2006 below that.
-Write "Table of Contents" on the top line of page (3). Below that, write the headings "Page" and "Activity" and "Date" across the page as column headings. I will show you in class how this should look.
-You will begin recording your first activity on page (7).
