No need draw unless you did not have sketches from previous microscope labs. Instead, count or estimate how many moving organisms you see in each infusion. Record which ecosystem the infusion was made from. We did three ecosystems, so you will make three slides.

The characteristics of life that we covered in class are featured on pages 18 and 19 of your book. Create a One Pager on the characteristics of life (visual representation that fills up a whole page). Include examples of each characteristic that you have come up with yourself. I should be able to understand what you are depicting (short annotations are helpful). Submit your work to Canvas. Taking a picture and uploading works well so you can keep all of your work in your spiral notebook. Since phones are not allowed at school, I can take a picture of your work with my iPAD on the due date if needed. If you have me take a picture you should include your first and last name on the work. Due Thursday, September 10th.
