To begin class in Biology, we will
learn about the microscope and proper lab techniques. Each
student will be required to identify the parts of a microscope along
with lab equipment that will be used in Biology labs throughout the
semester. Upon earning a score of 85 or better on the quiz, the
student will earn his/her lab license that will be required to enter
the Biology lab. If a score of "85" or better is not achieved,
the student may take the quiz up to three times. This is similar
to a driver's license in that you need to maintain appropriate lab
conduct throughout the semester to enjoy the privileges. If a
violation occurs, the student will receive a "hole" punched in his/her
card. Three punches in your license, and you will lose your
opportunity to go to the lab. (If you have been removed from the
lab, you will receive zeros for any lab that occurs during your
absence.) To earn back your license, a student will write a
two page report about the incident and re-take the quiz given intially
at the beginning of the semester.
Labs are a fun and exciting
way to put into practice material that is learned in class.
Respect that privilege and lab will truly be rewarding!
