Sketch in color and detail what you viewed, title of slide spelled correctly, magnification, verbal description of slide including cellular structures, that you are familiar with at this point (organelles), and cell types (multicellular, unicellular, prokaryote, eukaryote). You will also be required to do some research (webquest) as well. Please bring coloring pencils to class. No hi lighters or markers or colored pens for microscope slide sketch! Lab reports are entered as exams and projects in skyward and therefore worth 40%. Hard copies will be given in class.
