PRACTICAL CLASS ACTIVITIES
# Fertile egg dissections
# Whole body regeneration in planarians
# (There will be back up activities available if required)


LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
* Understand the process of gastrulation, and being able to identify the defining structures in the chicken embryo.
* Understand early neurulation, mesoderm and heart development, and being able to identify the defining structures in the chicken embryo.
* Understand the regeneration process of planarians following amputation and being able to identify blastema formation, antero-posterior (A/P) and dorsal-ventral (D/V) axes conservation, eye regrowth, re-pigmentation of the regenerated tissues, and worm behavior.


Today you will be sitting with your fellow group members during the lab class, look for your group number on the benches.

===Citing Published Papers===
You must clearly separate these 2 types of papers when citing on the project page. Hint - PubMed indicates when the paper is a review.
 
# '''Research paper''' is based on original research.
# '''Review paper''' is based on other published articles. It does not report original research and generally summarize the existing literature on a topic in an attempt to explain the current state of understanding on the topic.
 
 
Any stated finding on your project page, must cite a research paper(s).
 
Any paper that usefully summarises a research topic (a review), must indicate in the text that the citation is a review.
 
:For example: "see review", "as reviewed by", "best summarised by the review"......
 
 
Alternatively, consider a subheading that lists just the reviews in some sequence/topic.
 
 
 
===Project Structure===
 
# Begin by looking at previous project pages and see which structure/organisation appears best to you.
# Add suggested sub-headings to the project page and see if the organisation makes sense.
# Remember that sub-heading structure can be changed at any time or "undo" to an earlier structure (note if you "undo" all later version changes will be lost).
<br><br>
Here are some useful concepts to consider including (listed in no specific order):
 
* introduction
* history
* embryonic origins
* developmental time course
* developmental/adult function
* tissue/organ structure
* molecular mechanisms/factors/genes
* abnormalities/abnormal development
* animal models
* current research (labs)
* glossary
* reference list
