Week 2: Tissues & Systems

Tissues Lab 25 pts for basic, 30 points for exceptional. - Non-Optional)  To prepare for next Monday, finish your drawings of the tissue samples, this time using photos. Print this: Pictures of Tissues and carefully draw 6 more tissues (your choice), for a total of 8 drawings (2 from microscopes in class).  These should be as detailed as possible, colored pencils if you have them, and the point is to get you to notice details and to start seeing what some tissues have in common, and perhaps classifying them in groups, thinking about what they might be and what function they may play.  Guessing is fine. In the space surrounding your drawings, write in as much description as you can think of.  Your whole page, front and back should be full.
