Biology for the Logic Stage: Class Session 3: Classification
The lab for Chapter 3 / Week 3 (in Biology for the Logic Stage Student Guide) will be done at home because it requires internet access. The lab is simple. The student should find a leaf from outdoors, and go to the following website to determine the type of tree that the leaf came from. It is best if the leaf is still on a branch, because the alignment of the leaves on the branch is one of the questions which will help determine the type of tree. The link for this classification lab is:

During class session 3 we reviewed bookwork (homework) from Chapters 1 & 2 and we began the bookwork (homework) for Chapters 3 and 4.
Questions from the students:
“What are archaea? The reference material says that they cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. What kind of creatures are these? What kind of environments exist that do not contain oxygen?”
