Lecture: Introduction to cell biology. We will go over the Cell theory and the different types of cells: eukaryotes, prokaryotes, animal, plant, etc.
Homework: start reading Chapter 1 and use Quizlet to create a set of flashcards for all the vocabulary terms found in Chapter 1. The flashcards will be due next Monday.

Friday:
Finish lecture on cell biology. You will learn about the cell cycle and mitosis.
Homework: finish reading Chapter 1 and when you are done with your flashcards, email me the link. Go to the course website and look over the popplet found in the Digital Interactives page. You do not have to study the information in the popplet yet since we will be covering that material in Chapter 15, but take note of how the information is presented and organized because you will have to create your own popplet next week.
