In the procedure, you will replace Step #2 (making your own wet mount slide) with watching an assigned video clip of an unknown microorganism, \u201cOrganism X\u201d (see below). Start with step #3 to draw and record observations about your assigned organism on page 7.&nbsp; These&nbsp;<em>observations<\/em>&nbsp;are statements determined by using any one of a person\u2019s five senses (empirical reasoning). It is typically the first step in the Scientific Method and can lead to hypotheses.\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;

Then, as a group or on your own, you will need to write a more comprehensive description of your organism in Table 1-3 on page 8 without any sketches or diagrams.&nbsp; &nbsp;Another group (or your TA) will use your description (Table 1-3, page 9) to identify the organism based solely on your written information (no sketches or pictures) with a set of microscope images of many possible protist species.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In turn, you will also need to ID an unknown Protist species based on a written description from another group and a set of microscope images of many possible protist species supplied by your TA.&nbsp; You should be prepared to&nbsp;defend your identification choice of the unknown organism via email with your TA (or possible office hour\/Zoom meeting).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you cannot correctly identify the organism based on the provided description, you will need to ask the TA to edit\/provide more information until you can correctly identify 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;
