Non-Majors’ Biology Lab 2 Notebook Intro

Non-Majors’ Biology Lab 2 Notebook Checklist

Because it is assumed that all students enrolled in General Biology Lab II have mastered the skills, techniques, and knowledge presented in General Biology Lab I, transfer students will especially need to be familiar with the following protocols from Non-Majors’ Biology Lab 1. We will be doing labs this quarter which make use of and build on this prior background information and these skills.

Transfer Students:

How to Succeed: How to Succeed
Lab Notebook How-To: Lab Notebook How-To
Graphing: Graphing How-To
Bunsen Burner Use: Bunsen Burner
Microscope Use: Microscope Use Videos
Mitosis and Meiosis: Mitosis and Meiosis
