Friday Nov 8th - Starting to work with Microscopes

Today our students revisited their definitions of "What does it mean to be living?"

After that, they moved onto using hand lenses.  They studied text in their book as well as pennies to try to find distinguishing marks.  Many were able to locate initials of the artist who created Lincoln's portrait.


  Next week we will explore light compound microscopes, how to focus into a specimen and what a good scientific sketch is composed of.
