Do now for 9/26/16
When placing the slide with the letter” e” on the stage, what should be the orientation of the  letter “e”?
[answer in complete sentence]                                    For those who completed this activity, why do you think orientation is important?
 *Journals need to be in by Wednesday for anyone who has not yet had it checked, or has gotten less than a “2.”  If it isn’t in by then, an email or phone call home wil be made.
*Tape you your journal grading slips into the back inside cover of your journal when it has been returned to you.
Students who were out today should finish their Good Microscope Care activity, and see me to level up.  If you have already leveled up, you will continue to work on your level 2a activity U1Act5 Microscope Optics (Newsprint “e” activity).  If you have completed U1Act5, see me to be checked off and you will start activity 2b, which is U1Act5 Scietific drawings.
Here is a brief summary of the lesson for U1Act6: Scientific Drawings.
We have a standard format for scientific microscope drawings that we use to make sure that they quickly and efficiently communicate information with others.
Every scientific microscope drawing should include 4 things:
A circular boundary representing the Field of View, which is the circle of light that you see when you look through the microscope.
A title
the POM
An accurate drawing; draw what you see - no more and no less.  Take into account proportion so that the drawing is taking up as much space in the field of view as it appears through the microscope.
