Students and their Microscopes 
 
 

During the first 4-5 weeks of Biology all students will complete a series of lab projects which will help them become familiar with the use of a microscope.  They will be looking at prepared slides, learning to measure different items under the scopes, make wet mounts for viewing specimens, look at living plant and animal cells, stain the cells, and properly draw and label everything they see.  Using the microscope properly with the necessary safety procedures will be the emphasis of this project.  I have decided it would be interesting to put pictures of some of the students on this page so you, the viewer, will see what they are doing in class, and help future classes envision what happens in a hands-on lab Biology Class.  Enjoy the pictures!!!!!!!!!
 

WHAT AN ENJOYABLE CLASS.  YOU'D THINK THEY WERE POSING FOR THE PICTURE, WOULDN'T YOU!

To obtain the information about the project and what students will do please check out the following web site which will walk students through their understanding of using the microscope.  The student's ability to understand and use the microscope will aid them throughout both semesters as microscope work is included in all projects.
