+**NOTE** - Before this lab, the lab manager / TA should check to insure the lamps and LED flashlights are working / don't need new batteries.
 **NOTE** - The white globes can come off of the stick. Some students will do this to better measure the lines. This is fine - just do know that it is rather hard to put the spheres back onto the stand if you have not done this before. As always ask for help if needed!
 **Teaching Notes** - The main issue with this lab tend be the size of the room and other lamps affecting the 'terminator' line making it hard for students to measure the 'exact' line. This can lead to possible weird numbers in the lab report.
+**Set-up procedures**
+You will need one station per lab group. A "station" consists of the following:
+  - Tilted Globe with string
+  - Meter stick
+  - Lamp
+  - Blue painter's tape
+To set up this station. I find a table near-ish to a plug (note, if you have a class with 7+ groups you will need to use some extension cords!). I plug in the lamp (and test to make sure it works! But do not leave them on as they generate a bit of heat!). I put the globe ~1.5 meters away (note, the students should measure to make sure this is exact). I place the meter stick and painter's tape in-between the globe and lamp.
+Near the station on an adjacent table, I place one of the Surface Area Apparatus (I personally do not place it in-between the lamp and globe as this tends to clutter the desk / confuse students.
+The pink binder should be kept up at the front of the room. Once a group is at the section that requires the image, they can come up and grab one image and a ruler (though, they'll probably benefit from having a ruler earlier on in the lab, so I suspect they might already have rulers by this point! Please make sure these images get returned to the pink binder!

   - Technically a binder lab, but just requires the Hubble Deep Field image
-**Teaching Notes ** - Usually the make-up lab for students.
+**Teaching Notes ** - Usually the make-up lab for students. This lab is rather simple. Though it still use the old Hubble Deep Field. Might be worth it to update it to include talk about the observations JWST made.
