Cell Models

Video on organelles

Intro to microscopes

-The parts of a microscope and how to use them.

Going to the Lab for the Microscope Lab

We will be practicing using the microscope by looking at a few prepared slides.

-I want you to draw what you see in Four prepared slides

-Once you have done that together we are going to go through the lab on slide staining

-You will be scraping the inside of your cheek in order to obtain some cheek cells. We will then use those to stain and prepare a slide.

-Once you have made your slide use the microscope to locate an individual cell. Once you have located one you will draw it and identify any organelles that you can find.

-The organelles are hard to find so it is okay if you can only find a few. There are many that are too small to see.
