Here is a list of all of the labs we did this semester… it might be smart to put all

of them together.

8.A.Has a pointed nose Triangulum pointiatus 

B.Has a rounded nose Triangulum roundiatus     

9.A.Has two cilia on each side for movement Triangulum biciliatus 

B.Has more than two cilia on each side Triangulum Polycilius     

10.A.Has crossed-eyes Go to 11

 B.Eyes not crossed Triangulum waveus (samplest correctus)     

11.A.Lower half of the body has a dot pattern Triangulum lowdotteus 

B.Upper half of the body has a dot pattern Triangulum upperdotteus     

12.A.Has a pointed nose Triangulum pointiflagelleum 

B.Has a rounded nose Triangulum roundiflagelleum

1. Triangulum polycilius

2. Triangulum lowdotteus

Station 2:

• During the Protist ID lab we viewed live protists.

• Name each protist below.• Identify if it is multicellular, unicellular or

colonized

Paramecium

Unicellular

Euglena

Unicellular

Volvox

Colony

Station 3: Fungus ID

a. What is the name of the fuzzy organism growing on the bread?MOLD

b. Is it Eukaryotic or Prokaryotic?EUKARYOTIC (bacteria are the only PROKARYOTES)

c. Is it Autotrophic or Heterotrophic? HETEROTROPHIC…feed on other things

d. Is it Unicellular or Multicellular?MULTICELLULAR (yeast would be an example of unicellular mold)

e. What is a lichen?(partnership between fungus (provides support), and algae (does photsynthesis to make food)

Station 4: Animal Tracks• Write the formula for each of the tracks below

Print 1 Print 2

F4h4

f5H5c

Station 5: Plant Labsa) Label the parts of the flower

a. Petal b. Stigma c. Style d. Ovary e. Filament f. Anther

b) Is the stamen male or female?Male (has the word men in it!)

c) Is the pistil male or female?Female

d) What is pollen? What part of the flower produces pollen?Equivalent of sperm, produced by the anther

e) Why is the stigma sticky?To attract pollen.

f) What develops around a fertilized egg? FRUIT! (A ripened ovary)

Station 6: Vertebrate Dissection

Label the following:

2. Liver

3. Gall Bladder

5. Stomach

6. Duodenum (beginning of small intestine)

8. Small Intestine

What body system do most of these organs belong to?

Digestive System

Station 7:Consider the Goldfish Lab, Cardiac Rate Lab and

Human Energy Requirements Lab.

a) What was measured in each lab?Goldfish: Operculum MovementsCardiac: Recovery Rate After ExerciseEnergy: Calories Burned vs. Calories Eaten

b) What did the operculum movements in the Goldfish lab represent? Rate of cellular respiration…fish’s metabolism

c) What did recovery rate in the Cardiac lab represent?How in shape you were. Faster recovery, better heart health.

d) How does BMR relate to the calories burned in a day?BMR is calories burned at rest. Add that to calories burned during activity.

e) What was the learning objective in each lab? What were we trying to teach you?You can answer this one!

Station 8: Nervous System Lab

a) Review the function of each Cerebral Lobe.

b) Identify the brain stem and discuss it’s function.Connects brain to spinal cord, relays information

c) Identify the cerebellum anddiscuss it’s function.Lower “peach” section under occipital lobe. In charge of movementCranial Nerves:

d) Match the cranial nerve with it’s function:- Vision - Olfactory- Smell- Facial- Hearing - Optic- Taste- Auditory

SensoryThinking

Vision

Hearing & Taste
