Lab Materials
This is the prep for one section of 24 students.
Part 1: Prokaryotes
Students will do this part in table teams (groups of 4).
| Materials | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| bacteria types slide | 1 per table | contains coccus, bacillus and spirilla shaped, can also be set up on side bench as demo |
| anabaena | live organisms are ideal but prepared slides will work | |
| oscillatoria | live organisms are ideal but prepared slides will work | |
| gloeocapsa | live organisms are ideal but prepared slides will work |
Part 2: Protista
Students will do this part in table teams (groups of 4).
| Materials | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Trypanosoma slide | 1 per table | |
| Dinoflagellate slide | 1 per table | |
| mixed diatom slide | 1 per table | |
| euglena slide | 1 per table | |
| brown algae | variable | can be plastimounts or preserved specimens |
| paramecium slide | 1 per table | live organisms can be used if available |
| red algae | variable | can be plastimounts or preserved specimens |
| green algae | variable | can be plastimounts or preserved specimens. Live organisms can be used like volvox and spirogyra |
| amoeba slide | 1 per table | live organisms can be used if available |
