  1. Activity #2: Ethanol and Tobacco Toxicity in Living Animal Cells

  2. Step 1 • Infusion of hay, dry grass, or pond mud • Opacity Check: try reading a newspaper through the culture jar to check for cloudiness Infusion

  3. Step 2 - Treatments • Add various substances to other culture tubes • Water (leaves one tube untreated as a control) • Alcohol, tobacco • Here we also tested mouthwash and toothpaste

  4. Step 3a – Examine Tubes Visually Water (control) Mouthwash Toothpaste Coca Cola Tobacco Ethanol Observe and Note Immediate Effects (Repeat again after two days)

  5. Step 3b Inspect the Organisms Examine Organisms Under the Microscope – Initially and Two Days Later

  6. Step 4. Effects of Treatment Over Time As seen under a microscope, number and type of protists should change rapidly – in a matter of hours
