2.  Draw 4 slide images and record magnifications of each:
a.  giant multipolar neurons (high power)
b.  motor end plates (high power)
c.  spinal cord slice (lowest power lens, dark field illumination)
d.  myelinated axons (you need to finds this on the web)

Guidelines for IB respiration lab

Class,


Please look this over and make sure your work is the highest quality you can produce.  remember, the due date is Friday Feb 4th.


Design:
1.  Introduction:  Include scientific name
     -Respiration background
     -problem statement (with reason for testing)
2.  variables list:  Independent, dependent, other
other variables--things that could alter your experiment, but you kept controlled.
3.  Procedure:  numbered steps or bullet points.
    -explain how you set the sensors.  (No-out-of box set-ups)
Data:
1. include units
2.  Name graph (do not name it by the axes with vs. between them)
3.  Axes double labeled
4.  Brief explanation of what graph shows.
5.  Estimate the error (or read it off sensor info)
Conclusion:
1.  JUSTIFY your conclusion
2.  Evaluate your errors (rank them by impact)
3.  For every error, suggest an improvement.
