Microscope Lab

This lab was really fun. We learned how to use a microscope the proper way. We learned how to adjust the lighting, zoom in and put and other various things about the microscope. The picture with the purple slide was tested for cheek cells. We used a toothpick to swab the inside of our mouth, an used purple due. We put it under the microscope and saw cells. Some people we about to see stuff swimming (sadly I was one of those people.) the second picture is a single hair strand. I used my arm hair. The picture isn't a good one, but I was about to see some muscle that was pulled from my arm.

Graphs Lab

In this lab, we learned the correct procedures for how to make an accurate graph. The first graph (bar graph) is the length of fingers graph. The second graph is how we determine the unknown. The third graph shows how to have the best fit when you have multiple points. It helps to show a relationship between the points.
