Apply general principles of outdoor activities (protective clothing, safety considerations, etc.) to field work. Assess the credibility of source material [BIOL 2004] Describe the components of a formal laboratory report Describe the diversity of some major groups of prokaryotes: focus on Proteobacteria; Gram-positives; Cyanobacteria. [BIOL 2004] Describe the four major plant groups [BIOL 2004] Describe the most basic similarities and differences between Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryotes, and the evolutionary relationships between ‘protists’ and animals, plants and fungi. [BIOL 1010] Interpret the information in simple phylogenetic trees and taxonomies, including distinguishing between monophyly, paraphyly and polyphyly. Construct phylogenetic trees using shared characters and parsimony, and use trees to generate testable predictions. [BIOL 1010] Observe diversity of form, as well as key shared structures, across a range of cell and organism types. [BIOL 1010] Collect both quantitative and qualitative data through careful observations [BIOL 1010] [BIOL 1011] [BIOL 1030] Use a compound microscope with Kohler illumination, including immersion oil [BIOL 2004]
