Are you ready for the field trip tomorrow? Make sure that you eat a good breakfast, bring a snack, bring your Tri-Met ID and dress for the weather. We will meet (quietly) in the alcove by the elevator at the end of sophomore hall. I will need to do a final check of field trip forms and get a final count of who is going with us. Please be patient during this process. Remember that there is no cell phone/camera use when we are viewing the cadaver. If you are feeling faint, bend your knees and move around to increase your circulation. You can also step out into a neighboring room or the hallway if you need to. We should be back to Lincoln in time for your 4th period class.

Kidney "Essay: we will sign up on turnitin.com on Wednesday. You may turn in your essay through turnitin.com starting on Wednesday 2/20 and continuing through Friday 2/22.
In this essay, you should describe what happens in the kidney, from the entrance of blood in the renal artery to the exit of the filtrate out the ureter and filtered blood out the renal vein. You may be creative and use an analogy in your essay if you would like, but please use scientific vocabulary. Approximate length should be 1-2 pages depending on spacing. It seems to me that 1 page at 1.5 spacing should be adequate, but make sure that you check your work for completeness. Having a friend read through it is always a good idea.
