What to do..... |
| Lab 1 | Hooke's Microscope |
Provides a large picture of his microscope. Note the similarity to our modern compound light microscopes. |
| Lab 1 | Leeuwenhoek's Microscope - size | Use these pictures to appreciate the size of his microscope |
| Lab 1 | Leeuwenhoek's Microscope-operation | This page briefly explains how it works. |
| Lab 1 | Classification of Living Things | Use this site to review the Classification terms used in the introduction to cells. . |
| Lab 5 | What's a function? | Use this page to review of the term "function." |
| Lab 5 | Linear Function | Use this link to review linear functions and how the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) effect a line. Use both the automatic and the "You Control" options. |
| Lab 5 |
|
Drag the cursor on the bar to see how the correlation coefficient (r) relates to the spread of the data points on the graph. |
| Lab 5 | Scatterplot and Correlation Coefficient | Similar to the previous link. Move cursor up and down over the column of r values to see how the correlation coefficient relates to the spread of the data points on the graph and the regression line. |
| Lab 5 | Guessing Correlations | Test your understanding of correlations. Match the correlation coefficient (r) with the correct graph. |
| Lab 6 | What's a function? | Use this page to review of the term "function." |
| Lab 6 | Use this link to view different types of polynomials. Specifically, look at the effect of different degrees (or Order as in Excel). Play around with the coefficients so see how they effect the curve. (not for examinations) | |
