Warm Up 2-13-07 Parts of a Microscope and their Function Open your book to page 1070 Copy the 15 parts & functions of the Microscope in your notebook

Metric System – SI System Most common system of measurement It’s a system based on decimals and multiples of 10. Very easy to use !!!!

Length – the distance from one point to another Common Metric Units Length – the distance from one point to another meter (m): slightly longer than a yard (3 feet)

Volume – the amount of space an object takes up Common Metric Units Volume – the amount of space an object takes up Liter (L) – slightly more than a quart of milk

Mass – amount of matter in an object Common Metric Units Mass – amount of matter in an object gram (g) – equal to a paper clip

Temperature – measure of hotness and coldness degrees Celsius – (ºC) Common Metric Units Temperature – measure of hotness and coldness degrees Celsius – (ºC) - 0ºC = freezing point of H20 - 100ºC = boiling point of H20

English – Metric Equivalents 1 inch (in.) = 2.54 centimeters (cm) 39.97 inches (in.) or 3 feet 3.97 inches (in) = 1 meter (m) 0.62 miles (mi) = 1 kilometer (km) 1.06 quarts (qt.) = 1 liter (L) 1 cup (c) = 236 milliliters (mL) 2.2 pounds (lb.) = 1 kilogram (kg) 1 ounce (oz) = 28.3 grams (g) ºC = 5/9 x (ºF – 32) ** do not copy into notebook**

Warm up 2-14-07 Answer the following questions based on Tuesday’s lecture: (try to answer each one without the help of your notebook or book) *What is the metric system? *What is another name of the metric system? *What country does not use the Metric system? *What is the common metric unit for length? *A liter compares to what in American measurement? *What is the freezing point of water in °C and °F? *What is the boiling point of water in °C and °F

Analyzing Biological Data Scientists organize data by recording it in a table Then they make a graph to make it easy to understand Water Released and Absorbed by Tree Time Absorbed by Roots (g/h) Released by Leaves (g/h) Water released by leaves 20 8 AM 1 2 15 10 AM 1 5 Relative Rates (g/h) 10 12 PM 4 12 2 PM 6 17 5 4 PM 9 16 Water released by leaves 6 PM 14 10 8 PM 10 8 AM 10 AM 12 PM 2 PM 4 PM 6 PM 8 PM 3 Time Section 1-4

Microscopes Devices used to produce magnified images of structures that are too small to see with the unaided eye

Light Microscopes Produce magnified images by using LIGHT. *Clearly magnifies an object 1000 times its original size ** MOST COMMONLY USED **

Compound Light Microscopes Allows light to pass through the specimen (sample) Uses 2 lenses to form the image Can observe both dead & alive specimens

Electron Microscopes Used to magnify images that a light microscope cannot Uses a beam of electrons to produce image Images produced are 1000 times better than a light microscope Can only be used on dead specimens

2 Types of Electron Microscopes Scanning Electron Microscope - scan back & forth across the surface of the specimen - produces realistic, 3D images of the surface Transmission Electron Microscope - shines through the specimen - produce 3D images inside of object

How to Use a Microscope Film Write down the following questions in your notebook. You will answer them while you view the film. *Who was the 1st person to develop the microscope? *List 3 types of microscopes *The ocular is also known as the _______________. *The object being magnified is called the _______. *_______ holds the slides in place. *The light or mirror is found at the ________ of the microscope. *Course adjustment is used to bring the specimen _________ to the lens. *How much water do you use to prepare a slide? *If a specimen is too thin, you can add a drop of ____ to see it better. *When you move the slide to the left, the image will move to the _____.

Laboratory Techniques Cell Culture – group of cells that developed from one single cell - used to: 1. test cell responses under controlled conditions 2. to study interactions between cells 3. to select specific cells for further study

Laboratory Techniques Cell Fractionation – separating cell parts Method: 1. cells are broken up in a blender 2. pieces of cell & a liquid is placed in a tube 3. tube placed in a Centrifuge: - machine that spins tube 4. spinning causes parts to separate 5. scientists can study the individual parts

Working Safely in Your Science Class Safety rules are very important in our classroom Top 3 Most Important Safety Rules 1. Always follow your teacher’s instructions 2. Always read instructions carefully 3. Always wash your hands after activities

Safety Symbols Activity Use page 1068 Draw and define the following Safety Symbols in your notebook Safety Goggles Poison Breakage Disposal Plastic Gloves Hand Washing Sharp Object Electric Shock General Awareness Safety
