Background: A cell is the basic unit of living things. It is the smallest unit of life. Basic understanding of unicellular vs. multi-cellular. Knowledge of structure and functions of cell organelles. Molecules are constantly moving. They move in a straight line unless deflected by other molecules. Diffusion is the process by which the collisions between molecules cause them to continually spread apart from each other. Their overall movement can therefore be described as movement from an area of

**Measurement tool required - ruler/yard stick/meter stick. (Meter/Yard Stick Preferred) Nervous System – Reaction Time - In this experiment you will be measuring your reaction time when presented with visual, auditory and tactile stimulation. Because the distance an object falls is a function of time, you can measure the distance the meter stick drops and use this to calculate your reaction time.

Standards: MS-LS1-1 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes: Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many different numbers and types of cells. Objectives: · I can properly handle a compound light microscope. I can determine the total magnification of the microscope. I can properly use a compound light microscope:o I can use my microscopy skills to observe body system cellular specimens, draw and describe how structure

· NGSS: MS-LS1.1 Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many different numbers and types of cells. Objectives:· Students should demonstrate work habits that ensure personal safety and the safety of others. · Students should demonstrate proper use and care of the microscope to observe the general structure of cells. · Students will prepare a wet mount and view specimen at various levels of magnification, identify and compare major st
