Today we started our next unit:  BACTERIA.  We started off filling in THIS note-sheet with THIS power point.  Next we did THIS colouring sheet.  Finally we finished off the Distribution and Abundance of Bacteria lab by writing a conclusion.  This lab is due on FRIDAY.  Some tips for Conclusion:

How to Write a Lab Report Conclusion
  1. Restate the purpose of the experiment and your procedures.
  2. Describe the results or findings and if they support your hypothesis.
  3. Mention what you've learned from the experiment.
  4. Note any errors or uncertainties that could affect the results.
    5. Propose experiments for the future to gain more findings

We also watched the videos below and did 1 think we knew, 1 we learned and 1 question.
