Summarize the following:
Many science classes include labs, which are demonstrations of techniques you’ve learned about in your textbook or lectures. Your teacher will expect you to show up ready to start your lab.  Read the instructions for the lab prior to class. Mark places where you need clarification. You may also want to read over your notes from the last class, as the lab may correspond to the previous lesson. In addition to your lab notebook, you’ll need sharp pencils, a blank pen, a calculator, and other materials as your instructor requests. Dressing appropriately will also be important for your success in labs. Wear clean, comfortable clothes. Because you’ll be standing during a lot of your lab class, it’s a good idea to wear comfortable shoes.  Your lab may require safety goggles, gloves to cover your hands, acid-proof aprons or other safety clothing. Closed-toe shoes might be required for certain labs. It’s usually a good idea to avoid sandals, flip-flops, and other open-toe shoes. Labs taught at the college level will usually require written reports. While the specific method of presentation may vary according to your teacher’s methodology, you can expect your report to include: title, abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, references and literature cited.  The report must be typed, using the citation format that your instructor requires. The purpose of the report is to persuade others to accept or reject your own hypothesis. Your report will do this by showing the data you found through your research, and your interpretation of the data. This notebook should be a bound journal, not looseleaf, with numbered pages that are never removed or torn out. It is a permanent record of the observations you make in your lab. You’ll write your lab report based on records you’ve kept in your notebook.  Don’t use your lab notebook to keep notes of your classwork, lectures, or other study materials. Develop a system for taking notes in your lab notebook so that all the information you will need to write your report will be easy to find. Thoroughly detailing your lab activities will make writing your lab report easier. Wearing long pants might be required for some labs. Many times, lab experiments are meant to be done by a group of 2 or more students. This means that you probably won’t have time to do the whole experiment on your own, and will need to rely on the group’s efforts.  You’ll need to be aware of the results of what others have done in the process, even if you didn’t do it yourself. Part of the learning process in a lab is to learn to work effectively in a group.

summary: Be prepared for the lab. Bring all necessary materials to your lab. Learn to write a report. Keep a laboratory notebook. Work effectively with others.


Summarize the following:
These will be your guides as you cut into the side of the fish. If necessary, use your knife to cut lightly into them, exposing the tops so that you can see your guides as you get into the side fillets. This will be right in line with the cut you made on the top of the fish. Again, cut until you hit the bones, which you exposed in the last step. It won't be quite as deep as you went in the top fillet, as the sides are a bit thinner. Cut as close to these bones as possible without hitting them to get the most meat. Keep the knife parallel to the cutting board to get a nice, flat fillet. If you want, use your knife to square off any of the edges for a more restaurant-quality fillet. If you'd like, now is also the time to skin the fish. This usually happens if you cut too deep, or at an accidental angle. That said, there are worse problems to have, as you can easily pull a few stray bones out of the fish. The process is the same, though it can be a little harder to keep the fish balanced with its other side missing. Remember to go slow and use a sharp knife, trying to stay parallel to the cutting board the entire time.

summary: Use a finger feel out the Y-shaped bones poking out of the top of the fish. Flip the fish on its side and plunge the knife in behind the head. Turn the knife and cut down to the dorsal fin, using the Y-bones as you guide. Pull up as you reach the dorsal fins to complete the fillet. Check for any stray bones, pulling away with pliers or your fingers. Flip the fish over and repeat on the opposite side.

Enter 192.168.0.1 into the browser window of a computer connected to the router via Ethernet. Enter in the password that you created in the previous section when prompted to log in. The User Name is still "admin". This will open the setup wizards. This will open a new page allowing you to setup your wireless network. This will turn on the wireless network once you save your settings. Give your network a name, but make sure that it doesn't include any personal information. This network name will be publicly visible. This is the most secure method of wireless transmission, and requires no extra effort on your part over the outdated WEP. A strong WPA2 password is virtually impossible to crack, while a WEP password can be cracked in less than thirty minutes. Only select WPA or WEP if you have older devices that only support these protocols. Anyone that can connect to your wireless network can potentially cause some serious damage, especially if your devices are not secure. Make sure that you create a strong but memorable password. You'll be giving the password to guests, so you don't want it to be too unwieldy. See How to Create a Password You Can Remember for tips on creating a good password. Your wireless settings will be saved, and the wireless network will be enabled. This may take about thirty seconds to a minute. Once the router has saved the changes, you can connect your devices to the network wirelessly. Now that the wireless network is active, you can connect your devices to it. The process varies depending on the device, but generally you'll select your wireless name from the list of available networks and then enter the password you created. For most devices, this is all you need to do to connect to the wireless network. For more detailed instructions on connecting devices to a wireless network, see How to Connect to a Wireless Internet Connection.
summary: Log into your router. Click the "Setup" tab. Click the "Wireless Settings" menu in the left frame. Check the "Enable Wireless" box. Enter a name for the network. Select "WPA2" as the "Security Mode". Create a strong password. Click the "Save Settings" button. Connect your devices.
