STUDY TIPS--Use the one(s) that are best suited to your learning style.

• Be sure to study each tissue type separately and be ready for a quiz after each lab has been completed.
• BE HERE! Attendance for the next two weeks is crucial. Make up labs will be after school.
• Do the charts and diagrams as they are assigned. STUDY THESE as you are working on them. They will summarize the notes.
• It is very important to get each tissue type straight in your mind before working on the next one. STUDY your 20 minutes EVERY night.
• Lab drawings must be done in pencil. They must be precise and accurate. REMEMBER: you will be studying from these drawings.
• Use this web page to study for the tissue slides. Many of these are on the slide test.
• As you read this chapter pay close attention to all of the diagrams and photos. Study the diagram and microphoto together.
