PHOTOS – Include the digital photos with your lab report, either as separate

attachments to an e-mail or paste into your document.

Photo #1 – Take a photo of the syringe with spinach disks inside, after vacuuming;

be sure to show the disks submerged to the bottom – you may need an

assistant to take the photo since you have to keep your finger over the syringe end.

Photo #2 – Take a photo of the set up of both cups under the light; showing all disks at the bottom.

Photo #3 – Take a photo showing the results of any cups that have disks floating –

take a photo so that the disks that are floating are shown and the label on the cup shows.
