-Happy Lunar New Year! It's the Year of the Monkey!

-Hand back Root Word Quiz #4 (good job!)

-As a review of what we've learned so far about prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells, let's review Amoeba Sisters: Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote worksheet answers. This will get glued into the right hand side of your notebook.

Cheek Cell Lab (2/8/16)

Learning Objective: I can prepare and examine a slide of a cheek cell in order to better understand cell structure and function; I can provide evidence to determine if human cheek cells are prokaryotic or eukaryotic.

Cell Theory, developed by scientists in the 1800's, states: 
1. All living things are made up of one or more cells
2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in organisms.
3. All cells arise from existing cells.

-Review Lab Safety rules & microscope use procedures

-Ms. Ferro will demonstrate correct procedure for this lab

-Do Cheek Cell Lab using microscopes (25 pts)
See if you can get a good photo of your cells with a phone.
Finish for homework, due beginning of class on Wednesday
