    Observations- Throughout the lad we viewed many different organisims and many different traits. This lab takes a look at the three domains Bacteria, Archea, and Eukarya, which contain animals, protists, fungi, bacteria, and plants. And throughout the lab we uncovered what makes each plant different and what makes each animal in a set kingdom different. The results of our observations were recorded and analyzed from the results that follow. Observations of species and their traits that came from either divergent or convergent evolution were recorded and analysis of each kingdom…

    This course is a hands-on introduction to biodiversity. You will become familiar with evolutionary theory and the scientific classification scheme and accumulate practice in identifying and classifying organisms. It is imperative that you keep up with the work on a weekly basis and be prepared for class. Each week, you will be required to read the assigned modules (accessible on Blackboard under BSC2011L.allS13 in your course list) and complete an online quiz/competency check before coming to lab in preparation for the hands-on exercises. Quizzes will be posted at least one week prior to each lab. You will have one attempt ONLY to complete each quiz. The scores will be counted as part of your participation grade, with each quiz worth 15 points. This lab is SELF-DIRECTED. Your TA is here to guide you through a discovery process, not tell you what to memorize. You will only earn an A if you take the initiative to understand the concepts. Your TA will hold regular office hours in order to answer any questions that you may have.…
