Cheese Lab Take 2
Goal:
Carry out the procedure you wrote for the cheese lab to eliminate protocol and measurement errors.
Agenda:
Review Short Report
Flowgram
Cheese Lab
Homework
Review Short Report
For labs in this class you will be asked to write short reports. These are abbreviated formal lab reports and are competencies. There are some useful documents on the lab report reference page.
Flowgram:
With your partner, draw a diagram of how you will carry out your procedure. Make sure to label the equipment and measurements in your drawing. You must show this to me before you can begin your experiment.
Cheese Lab:
Carry out your cheese lab procedure. If you have any questions on how to use the equipment feel free to ask.
Homework (Start this if you finish early):
Complete the research question and background in your short report. You should have had a google doc template shared with you. Use this (if you don't I will not grade your work).

Make sure your cheese lab procedure is ready for Tuesday.
Agenda:
Lab Cleanup
First Blog Post
Analytical Instruments Test
Homework
Lab Cleanup
We made a big mess this week. Let's get the lab put back together so it's already to go for Tuesday.
First Blog Post
I will walk you through the process for posting an artifact to earn a badge. The directions can also be found here under "The Workflow." We will create a blog post for Artifact 1 - Graduated Cylinder Check with the label "Analytical Techniques Level 1."
Analytical Instruments Test
Go to Haiku and take the Analytical Instruments Test. You need to get a 80% (3.2/4) to meet the validation criteria. You can take the test as many times as you need to meet this criteria.
Homework (Work on this if you finish the Analytical Instruments Test)

Revise Experimental Design
I read through your experimental designs and procedures for the cheese lab and provided feedback. Please look at my feedback and revise your procedure as necessary. We will be doing the lab when you come back on Tuesday. It is a competency!
Finish Posting Artifacts
By this time you should have 3 more Artifacts to post (Pipet Check, Micropipet Check, and Analytical Instruments Test). Create 3 more blog posts for these artifacts with the "Analytical Techniques Level 1" label.
