I thought lab this week was definitely interesting. The microscopes were a little frustrating to work with sometimes, but I thought it was cool to be getting so hands-on with something I don't actually know very much about. Yeah, I have some vague memories of cell structure from 9th grade bio, but not a whole lot. I think that made the discussion and reports to the class a little more genuine. We know and can recognize the difference between trees and grass, so the past two labs it was hard to "attack" people and come up with arguable ideas. But because we were actually trying to create knowledge for ourselves, I think the process of presenting and attacking was actually pretty genuine and helpful.
