AGENDA: Class
Instructions for CSI Lesson, Assignments, and Laboratory
This is anticipated to be a five-class
period lesson with two class periods allowed for individual study and group
laboratory report preparation.
An online website or PowerPoint presentation will be made that describes and illustrates the biological principles and laboratory methods used in this lesson and laboratory. Printed reading materials and handouts will be discussed to ensure that the lesson and assignment are understood. You will be assigned to teams of three for class discussion, Q & A, the laboratory experiment and report.
Those with Internet access will find useful information about this lesson by following the links listed below and reading/studying the material that relates directly to an understanding the assignments and the laboratory. Those without Internet access will be granted limited classroom or library computer usage time to explore and learn from the links to the information listed below. Adequate printed materials will be provided to everyone to ensure that those with limited access to the Internet will not be at a disadvantage, but I strongly urge you to explore and learn as much as you can about this lesson and science in general by using technology and the Internet to enhance the learning experience..
