Tables 5-8 will use orange stations

Monocot and Dicot Lab

At each station - sketch plant - focus on leaves, stem, flower and/or root

Be thinking “how can I tell if it is a monocot or dicot plant?

Directions for Stations/Change

A/B partners will move together - but individual work

C/D partners will work together

Listen for start point for your group - then move to the NEXT number 1 goes to 2, 3 goes to 4 and 8 comes back to 1

Planner:– HW: Test next Friday on Lessons #1-5 and 9 – ALL LATE work due by Thursday

You Need:– Today: Daily 5

To Do:– What are the living things in your pond? What are

the non living things? ( write your thoughts on NB page #23 under your Lesson 4)

Learning Target We will predict,

observe, draw, label, and reflect on changes over time to a model pond ecosystem.

Page 3 - Day 16 Count and note how many Lemna you see?

Label all the pond ingredients and use a ruler to show where each is located

Pond Observation - Micro

C’s get pond from back of room for your tableeveryone else - to stations and set-upYou will take one drop of pond water - using the pipette and place it into a depression slide. You will take a second drop of water and make a 2nd depression slide. 2 microscopes.

Look for any organisms and draw any you see - 2 drawings on medium

Micro - TIPS for SUCCESS

Adjust the diaphragm of microscope - less light!

Start on low and scan for organisms - move to medium power when you see movement

2 samples and try to get at least one sample from down lower in your pond (near rice)

Pond Observation - Micro

A’s responsible for cleaning (rinse in water) the slides and pipette and putting back in bin

B’s responsible for putting microscope away

Pond Observation - Macro

This is day 16

Count the number of lemna “fronds” you see

Draw a detailed picture of your pond - label all the ingredients (even new ones you see) using a ruler

Ponds

“D’s” return ponds to windowsill and loosen cover

On page 22, under last week’s notes, reflect and write about what changed since your last pond observation - this will help you with the “pond paper assignment” at the end of the lesson
