Okay, so I recovered from surgery and sent you all spinning along this nervous system lab work coupled with your work on Wolff's and numerous chapter assignments, so here's the deal...let's slow it down a bit and ease into the holiday break.  We will be starting some work with vision and finishing the work with the nervous system, so it's important that you continue to document your findings from the labwork, but your individual test will simply be a review of your notebook, while your group test will be an open note affair that we'll begin Thursday and end on Friday...with our soiree.  I think you'll enjoy it overall.

For those of you that keep track of due dates, you'll see that you and probably everybody else you know missed the deadline to add your "procedure" or "method" to your blossoming Wolff's Law Project, make sure you add it at some point prior to January 3rd, and we'll call it good....The guidelines to writing a good "method/procedure" are as follows...
      a.  as simply as possible, outline the steps someone would need to take to replicate your project.
      b.  to 'replicate' I mean repeat.  A person should be able to read your method page and then gather the required materials and actually do the experiment.
      c.  include how your measures are taken, and even include pictures or drawings if written descriptions can't communicate the work as well.
   
Apologies for speeding things up so much, but keep after it, this will all come together at the end, for now, take a deep breath, enjoy the season, and remember to get after those scientists, structures, and movements of the week.
