March 30th thru April 3

Monday Protist notes
Tuesday Finish Notes and begin the LAB
Wed, Thur, Fri Finish the Protist Lab.

As was explained last week and at the begining of this week, if you miss even part of the lab you will be required to write the research paper instead. We are working with living specimens so this is the alternative assignment.

Protist Paper


In lieu of completing the lab you must write a paper with a minimum of 5 pages. This paper will include information explaining each of the following bullets. Also all papers will be checked vigorously for plagiarism.

• What Phyla does each organism belong to?
• How does each of these organisms reproduce?
