We will explore the characteristics of life using Europa as an example of ongoing scientific investigations by NASA. We will learn how to ask scientific questions.

The lab requires the use of a microscope. Some digital microscopes are good enough to try. Ideally a regular microscope should be used.
Students will need to use a split screen (or two computers) to access the course online and, at the same time, answer the Google Classroom questions for submission of their work.
Youtube can be watched picture-in-picture.
The textbook provides ai chat support. Click on the textbook tab for more information.
The Google Classroom invite code is available from your teacher.

MS-LS1-1 Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many different numbers and types of cells.
College Board (National) Grades 6-8
LSM-PE.2.1.2 Gather data, based on observations of cell functions made using a microscope or on cell descriptions obtained from print material, that can be used as evidence to support the claim that there are a variety of cell types. • There are many types of cells. Organisms may consist of one cell or many different numbers and types of cells. • Most cells are so small that the cells themselves and their details can be seen only with a microscope.
The cell is the functional unit of all organisms. All essential life functions (e.g., energy transfer and transformation, exchange of gas, disposal of waste, growth, reproduction, and interaction with the environment) take place within a cell or within a system of cells.
LSM-PE.2.1.1 Give examples of organisms that are made of one cell (both non-nucleated and nucleated) and organisms that are made of many cells. Compare and contrast the essential functions occurring in the single-cell organisms and in the cells of multicellular organisms.
