Tired from the turkey?

Does eating turkey make you tired? Turkey does contain tryptophan and is an amino acid and is used to make serotonin. Serotonin makes you feel calm, and makes you feel good! Unfortunately there is NOT enough tryptophan in the turkey to make you tired. Actually, cheese and chicken breast has more tryptophan than turkey! Then why are you sleepy? It is probably the stress of the holidays or all the fat and calories you just consumed!

Why did we use water in the microscope lab?

You can put some samples directly under the microscope. However, many samples look better when placed in a drop of water on the microscope slide. This is known as a "wet mount." The water helps support the sample and it fills the space between the cover slip and the slide allowing light to pass easily through the slide, the sample, and the cover slip.

Reminders for the weekend!

Don't forget to change your clocks tonight!
Also Don't forget to bring in your pond water for Monday!
