In this activity, the learners will use Foldscopes to observe the epidermal cells of an onion and

take micrographs and make sketch drawings of the observed specimen. This will be a learning

activity that will enable them to learn the anatomy of plant cells

This is an activity that will get the learners to collect insects and observe them under the Foldscope

to determine what characteristics qualify them to be insects, and what features they possess that

help them in their different roles in the ecosystem, and environmental conservation.

In this activity, the learners will explore plants by observing the internal structure of the roots,

both fibrous and tap root and identify the differences and draw images for learning, fun and

exploration. They will also appreciate the importance of roots in plants

This is an activity that learners will use Foldscopes to observe, take micrographs, discuss, draw,

and color specimens. The main goal is to create awareness on how they can use locally available

resources to take micrographs.

This is an activity where learners will study the kind of fungi found in spoiled food, bread or rotten

fruits. The learners will also observe these fungi under a foldscope and discuss hygiene, food

preservations measures, food wastage and storage.

In this activity, the learners will observe the Meiosis stages in cell division in an anther of a flower

bud to understand cell division.
