Class this week: I am sorry for being so terrible at keeping up with my website these last two weeks! We finished up our cells unit by studying live organisms called protists with the microscopes. All of them except one were single celled organisms that are commonly found in pond water. On Wednesday, 2/25, we are taking a test on cells and protists. Next up: Cell division - mitosis and meiosis. We will use the microscopes one more time to see onion cells in different stages of mitosis.
