25 points!! Question 2

Now follow these directions to classify the insect specimens. Start by putting on your

gloves and goggles. Then, using the forceps, remove all 15 insect specimens from

the jar and put them in the petri dishes.

Be very careful when removing the insects. Wings and body structures can be easily

damaged. Choose 10 insects that you want to classify using the dichotomous key,

and put the remaining insects back into the solution.

The dichotomous key that came with the Edmentum lab kit has descriptions and

"refer to" numbers. Start at Space 1, and determine whether your specimen has

wings. Jump to the "refer to" space to further classify the organism. Continue until

you reach the insect's order. If you're not using an Edmentum lab kit, follow the

instructions for your specific dichotomous key.

Now follow these steps to further classify each specimen. Write your notes in the

chart using the exact wording from the dichotomous key. An example is given in the

chart.

1. Use the magnifying glass to identify the body parts of each insect, such as the

mouth or wing structure. Use the microscope on the lowest or second-lowest

setting to observe the body parts of small insects.

2. Place the insect in the petri dish lid, and then place it on the microscope. (The

bottom part of the petri dish is too tall to fit under the microscope. Adjust the

upper microscope light instead of the base light. Then move the dish around

until you can see the specimen.)

3. In some cases, an insect's metamorphosis will determine its final order. Use

credible websites to look up the metamorphosis of insects belonging to

different orders, and match your specimens accordingly.

4. After you have studied all 10 insect, make sure your classification chart is

complete and that you have used the exact wording from the dichotomous key.

Science27 of the most iconic, jaw-dropping photos of the earth and the moon from spacedave mosher  oct 1, 2018, 11: 13 am etnasa/flickrapollo 11 astronauts took this photo of earth on july 20, 1969.from the ground, earth looks like a boundless fertile plain that beckons to be explored and exploited.but astronauts would beg -  and even plead  - to differ."you realize that people often say, 'i hope to go to heaven when i die,'" jim lovell, an astronaut who flew on the apollo 8 and apollo 13 missions to the moon, previously  told business insider. "in reality, if you think about it, you go to heaven when you're born."lovell has seen first-hand that we live on a tiny rock hopelessly lost in the void. he's also quick to tell you it's the only one we've got - a  fragile spaceship  for more than 7 billion people: "you arrive on a planet that has the proper mass, has the gravity to contain water and an atmosphere, which are the very essentials for life. and you arrive on this planet that's orbiting a star just at the right distance - not too far to be too cold, or too close to be too hot - and just at the right distance to absorb that star's energy and then, with that energy, cause life to evolve here in the first place. in reality, you know, god has really given us a stage, just looking at where we were around the moon, a stage on which we perform. and how that play turns out is up to us, i guess."humanity has recorded photos of earth from hundreds, thousands, millions, and even billions of miles away, some of them taken by lovell himself.these images not only scientists study our dynamic world, but also understand how a habitable planet looks from afar, which aids the search for  more worlds. most importantly, however, the images underscore our peculiar existence on  a mote of cosmic dust.take a moment to ponder 27 of the most arresting images of earth that humankind has ever captured from space.a
