This week we're back using microscopes to check out plant and animal cells. To begin, we'll look at thin slices of cork - similar to what Robert Hooke saw almost 400 years ago when he discovered cells. While looking at plant cells, you will prepare your own slides of onion and aloe, observing many cell parts, such as the nucleus and chloroplast. We will also check out prepared slides of frog blood, and you will prepare a slide of YOUR cheek cells. It will be a great week with lots of practice using the microscope. By the end of the week, make sure you are confident with how to use a microscope - changing objectives, focusing, and proper use of the microscope. Stay curious and keep looking for answers!
