1. Journals can be turned in early2. Late Journal? Can be turned in either:

(A) After 5:00 p.m. on Mon. April 15 until noon/12:00 p.m. Tues. April 16.These late journals receive a 25% point deduction.

(B) After 12:00 p.m. Tues. April 16 until noon/12:00 p.m. Wed. April 17.These late journals receive a 50% point deduction.

Monday April 15 2019 5:00 p.m. 131 Weniger

1. Assemble the journal, instructions are on the inner front cover.2. Some of the journal entries are done on your own, others require an in-

class stamp. If you miss a stamped activity, you can make it up thefollowing week in GTA office hours; you will need to do that in Monday officehours if the journal is due later that day.

3. To receive credit, journal entries need to be appropriate for a multi-generational public environment. Minimize disruptive impact to otherstudents, the community, organisms, and the environment.

4. Exercise safety on your science excursions. Be alert and travel withfriends.

Each completed page (8 total) is worth 1.0 point each, 8.0 points total. - zero points are assigned to pages that did not have a required stamp

(stamp for both pages of Skin Labels; both pages of Muscle Types). - deductions are taken on pages that are incomplete, have errors, or

inappropriate content.

Warm-UpComplete this page after assembling journal

Journaling is a method of recording experiences that encourages focused observation for

possible later reference.

BI 103 Outcome: use a combination of print journaling (this Biology Journal) and digital media posts to promote

and capture memorable science experiences.

Look around you & select one item in your environment to sketch. It can be a pen, a cup, a leaf, etc. Try

capturing its outline, and label with words to describe color, size, & other key features.

Skeletal QuestionsWrite a possible exam question over each of these topics:

Which, if any, of the answers surprised you?

Muscle Types

Total Magnification = eyepiece magnification

x (times) objective magnification

For all three tissues, use Total Magnification = 400x

Sketch and label the three different types of muscle tissues

Where did you learn the science that you correctly answered?

Skin AnatomyUsing the large skin model for reference, label the following structures in the photos on these two pages: hypodermis/subcutaneous layer, epidermis, dermis, hair, hair follicle, sweat gland, sebaceous oil gland, arrector pili muscle, blood vessels, sensory organ, fat (adipose) cells, collagen fibers of the dermis.

Skin AnatomyUse arrows or brackets, if needed, to indicate a specific structure. You do not need to label a structure more than once, for example, if you label the epidermis in one photo, you do not need to label it in the other photo.
