In Module 3:Toxicology, we investigated the effectof Cu2+on Daphnia magna. The first experiment was designed for you, and allowed you to calculate the 48-hr LC50value from aggregated class data.Note: There was excess mortality in the controls of the 72-hr exposure, so only 48-hr LC50values need to be calculated.Thisvalues can be used to assessthe relative toxicityof Cu. The second set of experimentswas designed by your group, and allowed you to investigate the effect of Cu on a sub lethal endpoint-heart rate.

Your task for this assessment is to write a lab report that communicates the results of your findings for both experiments. The laboratory report introduces the research, provides a description of the results obtained, and ties back your findings with known results from other scientific studies. If you are having trouble knowing where to begin, try reading some of the referenced papers that were provided to you in the outline and lecture. As you are writing a lab report primarily on toxicology, it would be best to familiarize yourself with this field before diving in and starting
