Hi its Jessie. In unit one, our class learned how to use microscopes and about the scientific method. We also counted vacuoles in Tetrahymena thermophila and experimented on the effect temperature has on jumping beans. Im so happy we got to use microscopes in biology this unit. I really like using them and benefited from learning how to correctly operate them. Also, looking at the Tetrahymena thermophila under them was so awesome!
We learned about independent variables, dependent variables, controlled variables, control group, qualitative variables, quantitative variables and making observations and inferences. We even learned how to organize an experiment! Using a hot plate with warm water on it and a bowl of ice water, my group found how temperature effects the movement of jumping beans. Overall, I learned a lot this unit and I am looking forward to the next one!
