__//**Friday - 1/27**//__ Finish your **cell model and key**. You may add more organelles if you'd like. Please make sure your key is colored and displayed with the cell on your desk or near a microscope with your name on your key.

**Lipid experiment** - work with a partner - take a mini cup and rub some shortening on the inside of the cup. Next, try to clean the shortening out of the cup with WATER only. Discuss what happens with your partner. Then try to clean the shortening out with WATER AND SOAP. Discuss what happens with your partner. Please stack the cups near the sink when you finish. Answer the discussion post about this experiment. You can reply to the discussion post by signing into the wiki, and clicking the discussion icon near the top right hand corner of the __**Cells**__ page. To get full credit for this, you must post your thoughtful response by the end of today's class. Each person posts their own response.

**[|Science Fusion]** - you need to finish the lesson, lab, and quiz by next Weds. 2/1. This will be your final day in class to work on it here at school.


 * Answer the questions abov ** e - If you know the answer or even part of the answer to a question above, go ahead and edit this page and write the answer! Don't erase the questions and DO put your name after your answer.

**Thursday - 1/26** **__1. Microscope lab__** You will need a partner, a piece of paper, and a microscope. At the microscope station, you will find two cell specimens. One is a plant cell and one is an animal cell. You will follow the directions on the "Using a Microscope" form below. Keep your computer at a desk - not next to your microscope. When you finish - Turn in your papers, Turn off your microscope, put slides back in their plastic container and leave them next to your microscope. Then you will start on your [|Science Fusion Assignment.] Please fill in the form for your microscope lab **Using a Microscope**
