Welcome to BIO 181 Lab Units

  1. Go to the Fall Lab Schedule to see what unit is being done each week.  We will alternate In Person and Online laboratory units throughout the semester.
  2. Lab manual units can be found and downloaded from the top of each Laboratory Unit webpages.
  3. You can link to the week of lab you need below OR scroll to the top of any Lab Website page and select Laboratory Units from the red bar of menu options (found between Lab Absences and Resources).  ALL the units are listed in lab order in a drop down menu.

Students should visit this website each week to review the laboratory schedule and what assignments are due found on each lab unit main webpage.  Along with your lab manual, this website will provide supplementary information that will be helpful to review when completing Lab activities and assignments.  The Resources links will be most useful in this course and help you further develop your scientific communication skills.
