I‘ll get the rest of the details for later labs to you within the first to second week. Photosynthesis Lab: See the enclosed copy of the handout for materials 1. I need enough materials for 8 team set ups 2. They may have to share aspirators since we only have six sinks Microscope lab: 1. This will use the “standard” materials used for the same lab in AP with the following additions put out Things I think we already have around the lab: a. Prepared slides of blood. b. Tradescantia leaves – a few stems in a flask of water will be good c. Black bread mold (actually any old mold you have lying about!!!) d. Termites with mutualistic critters in them – Do we still have these around? If not can you order some? Things that need to be ordered: Here is a list from Carolina Biological and the catalogue numbers a. Protozoa Survey Mixture CE-13-1940 1 @ $9.80 b. Hydra culture CE –13-2800 1 @ $5.50 c. Planaria CE-13-2950 1 @ $ 6.10 2. Nematode Capture apparatus; Four funnel type set-ups to capture soil nematodes; - See attachment of Exercise 7.6 Seed Lab - 1. Need to purchase fresh carrot, radish, Phacelia and lettuce seeds. There will be 8 teams and each team needs 50 of each seed so we will need about 400 of each seed type. I have no idea how many packets of seed that will be. 2. We will also need about 150 ml of fungicide per team. I will get the recipe to you 3. Each team will need 5 petri dishes, 5 baggies, 5 rubber bands, and 20 pieces of filter Paper. We will also need about 2-4 shoeboxes with lids for this and a refrigerator and an incubator. I will get you all the sordid details soon. Diffusion lab – basically the dame materials as we use for AP. The order of use will be a bit different. I’ll fill you in. Temperature and O2 lab This will require students to measure the amount of oxygen that different temperatures of water can hold. The set up should be pretty straight forward, a few beakers, a water bath etc. I am still in the process of writing this… Do we have oxygen probes? Does chemistry have any of these?Microbiology labs I think Diane will have enough basic stuff for me to use here. Bug lab –
