Today started right after the bell rung and everyone shuffled to their seats.

We had a sub today, and she told us that Mr. Peak was not there. He was absent. It was pretty obvious, but every sub has the need to tell us that. After that, she told us that today we will be doing a lab (yes, another one!) this time ,we will be examining an onion root cell through a microscope.

procedure:

We were told to get into groups of three. Three and no more. We could choose to work with anyone in the class we wanteed to work with. Then, we went to the lab tables and got the microscope working. Than we were supposed to get the onion root cell slide, which were allready prepeard for us, from the front of the room.

After that, we were to put the slide on the satage of the microscope, adjust it accordingly, and view it on low power objective first. We needed to find the cell, and after that, we needed to get to the medium power objective, which, as I found out, was the best way to view the cell.

Than we needed to locate teh cells that were at different stages of Mitosis. Mitosis, to those who forgot, is the proccess in cell devision in which to nucleus devides, typically consisting of four stages, prophase, methopase, anaphase, and telophase, and resulting in two new nuclei, each of which contains a complete copy of the parent chromosome.

Than we needed to identify and label the stages of mitosis we were seeing through the microscope.

When we were done with that, we needed to complete the lab quetions, found on pages 45-47 in the unit packet.

On page 47, we were supposed to name each of the stages and label what was inside the cell.

That concludes the lab. the lab itself took about 10-15 minutes, and thequetions took up the rest of class. If you didn't do the lab quetions, they are homework.

Speaking of which, the homework for tonight was Unit packet page 52A. we are supposed to color and label each one of the cell parts.

Hopefully, Mr. Paek is back tommorow.
