Here are the notes we took yesterday (Tuesday Nov. 12th) in class on the parts of a microscope and also the different magnifications of the objective lenses.
Today's goals for science were for students to:
- Understand the purpose of microscope parts.
- Understand and apply basic elements of a scientific sketch
- Explore and understand how to use a microscope
After some great work over the past few days, students were finally able to take what they have learned about microscopes--the history, the purpose, the parts, etc.--and apply it to a hands on activity.
We kicked it off by going over "How to Use a Microscope" and applied the instructions towards our microscope labs.
Students used "Guidelines for Scientific Drawings" to create their own sketches.
The class was unleashed to apply all of their knowledge to the "e" lab. They took newspaper cuttings of the letter "e" and examined it through the lens of compound microscopes. Their sketches and observations were recorded here.
Homework Tonight: Continue reviewing material and handouts about microscopes and sketches.
Also read pg's 26-27 "Microscope Pioneers". Answer questions on Page 21 A-C.
