Material for these labs is essentially from Term 1. The context for BI02 is that I want them to understand how a vertebrate works in order to better understand the lectures on vertebrate diversity and human evolution.
CONCEPTS
Have the students work through the lab manual exercises in pairs or benches. Throughout, emphasize the logical structure of how parts are connected and what they do. There are several exercises in the manual that take this approach, like tracing blood flow through a system. These will help them on the practical, as they will have a better mental map of the various parts.
The quizzes will be fill-in-the-blank style with diagrams. The lab practical will be bell-ringer style with actual specimens. The biggest trouble students have is that they want to memorize the diagrams, and then do not appreciate variability among specimens, or how things connect in real organisms, so please help them see other types of observations (color, texture, etc.) The structures they need to know from each diagrams are on the attached sheets.
