At each station - sketch plant - focus on
leaves, stem, flower and/or root
Be thinking “how can I tell if it is a monocot or
dicot plant?
Directions for Stations/Change

Planner:
– HW: Test next Friday on Lessons #1-5 and 9
– ALL LATE work due by Thursday
You Need:
– Today: Daily 5
To Do:
–
What are the living things in your pond? What are
the non living things? ( write your thoughts on NB
page #23 under your Lesson 4)
Learning
Target
We will predict,
observe, draw,
label, and reflect
on changes over
time to a model
pond ecosystem.
Label all
the pond
ingredients
and use a
ruler to
show
where
each is
located
Page 3 - Day 16
Count and
note how
many
Lemna you
see?
Pond Observation - Micro
C’s get pond from back of room for your table
everyone else - to stations and set-up
You will take one drop of pond water - using
the pipette and place it into a depression
slide. You will take a second drop of water
and make a 2nd depression slide. 2
microscopes.
Look for any organisms and draw any you see
- 2 drawings on medium
Micro - TIPS for SUCCESS
Adjust the diaphragm of microscope - less
light!
Start on low and scan for organisms - move to
medium power when you see movement
2 samples and try to get at least one sample
from down lower in your pond (near rice)
Pond Observation - Micro
A’s responsible for cleaning (rinse in water)
the slides and pipette and putting back in bin
B’s responsible for putting microscope away
Pond Observation - Macro
This is day 16
Count the number of lemna “fronds” you see
Draw a detailed picture of your pond - label
all the ingredients (even new ones you see)
using a ruler
Ponds
“D’s” return ponds to windowsill and loosen
cover
On page 22, under last week’s notes, reflect
and write about what changed since your last
pond observation - this will help you with the
“pond paper assignment” at the end of the
lesson
