Onion Cell Lab Experiment
This week we will be examining an onion cell under a microscope and writing a formal lab report.
You will be asked to think about the PURPOSE of the study (Why are we doing this? What are we hoping to find? How will this help develop my understanding of plant cells?). You will also be asked to come up with a hypothesis.
Hypothesis
A hypothesis is an IF and THEN statement. It is a formal, third person, description of what YOU think will happen in the experiment. When developing your hypothesis think about:

- What you might see in the onion cell under different magnifications?
- What you might see in the onion cell when using the blue stain?
- What organelles (cell wall? nucleus? etc) do you think will be visible?
