It is typically the first step in the Scientific Method and can lead to hypotheses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Record your individual observations,\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Label all notes and drawings with date, time, and place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Record all results as you observe\/collect them; don\u2019t rely on memory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure to record what you SEE, not what you THINK should be there.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Detail is key, pay attention to even the smallest things.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once each group member has recorded their OWN observations, you will compare your observations with other students in your group. As a group, you will need to write a more comprehensive description of your groups organism (Table 1-3 Group Description of Organism X on page 8) on a piece of paper that you can swap share with another group for making an identification of Organism X.&nbsp; These group observations cannot include any pictures or diagrams.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another group will use your written description to identify the organism based solely on your written information (no sketches or pictures) and a set of microscope images of many possible protist species provided by your TA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the other group cannot correctly identify your organism based on your group description, you will need to revise (edit) your descriptions until the correct organism is identified.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Groups should be prepared to defend the identification choice of the unknown organism.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thoughtful and precise scientific communication is key to this activity and to all your laboratory work this semester.&nbsp; It is also vital to the peer review process \u2013 be it for class work or for publishing scientific literature.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<H2 id=\"\" class=\"block-icon-heading n_ma0 n_ttn n_relative n_flex n_items-center n_flex-column   n_text-gray-90 n_normal n_f3  n_justify-center\">\n                    \n    \n    \n        <span id=\"\" class=\"block-icon-heading__icon  n_fls0 icon n_text-gray-90 n_fill-gray-90 n_br0  n_s2 \" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n    \n\n\n    <svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlnsXlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 50 50\" enableBackground=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xmlSpace=\"preserve\" class=\"n_mw-100 n_w-100 n_h-100\" >\n      <g >\n        <g>\n          <g>\n            <path  d=\"M32.7,36.4c0.8,2.6,0.2,5.5-1.7,7.4l-12.1,0.1c-2.2-4.5-2.6-9.5-1.3-14.4c0.8-3,2.2-5.7,4.2-7.9l4.7,8.4\n            \t\t\t\tl1.9-1.1l2.1,3.8l5.3-3.3l-2.1-3.7l1.7-1L23.7,2.9l-9.3,5.3l4.1,7.5c-3.4,3.3-5.8,7.4-7.1,12.1c-1.5,5.4-1.3,11,0.6,16.1l-9.7,0\n            \t\t\t\tv6h29.9l0,0.1c0,0,0.1-0.1,0.1-0.1h15.5v-6.1H37.7c1.4-3.2,1.4-6.9,0-10.2\" \/>\n            <polygon  points=\"23.3,2.3 22.1,0 12.7,5.3 14,7.6 \t\t\t\" \/>\n          <\/g>\n          <rect x=\"33.3\" y=\"26.6\" transform=\"matrix(-0.496 -0.8683 0.8683 -0.496 22.3478 79.8657)\"  width=\"2.2\" height=\"13.6\" \/>\n        <\/g>\n      <\/g>\n    <\/svg>\n\n<\/span>\n    <span class=\"gray-90\">\n        <span class=\"n_fls0 block-icon-heading__content n_univers-light \">\n            Post-Lab\n        <\/span>\n    <\/span>\n<\/H2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"block-callout n_items-center-ns  n_bg-yellow   block-callout--img-left \" >\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-callout__content n_pa4 n_w-100 n_flex n_flex-column n_tc  n_text-black\">\n\t\t\t\t                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-projects.wolfware.ncsu.edu\/bio-181-hybrid-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/351\/2024\/01\/Lab1LabSkills_End-of-UnitQuestions.docx\" class=\"block-callout__link n_no-underline \">\n\t\t\t            <P class=\"block-callout__heading heading n_overflow-wrap-break n_pv2 n_ph0 n_ttn n_ma0 n_lh-title n_f3  n_univers-light n_normal n_text-black\">Post Lab Individual Work <\/P>\n\n\t\t            <\/a>\n                \t\t\t\t<p class=\"block-callout__body-wrapper n_text-black n_ma0 n_pa0 \">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-callout__body \">Complete this attached End of Unit Questions worksheet found here.
