Student Scientists Dissect Plants and Observe Them Using Microscopes
"It's like our body and skin. The plant looks like our skin [when using the microscope]." -Mohamed, 4th Grade
What can you learn about the microscopic world when you use a microscope? Explore and share! :)

I studied temperature changes in Puerto Rico. I also used a microscope to observe different plants. So cool!

Powerful microscopes magnify in might ways! Watch and learn with Mr. Czarka as he learns with Math for America and BioBus.
The world is a large place. A tiny one too. Using a microscope one can look closely at the microscopic world, a world we cannot see with our own, unaided eyes.
As you watch this video, think about how you would use a microscope to look at the infinitesimal world around us. The microscope is a tool that will help you learn about behavior patterns, parts of organisms, and other information about living things. It will also let you explore the structure of non-living materials like soil and rocks.
When you are finished, start thinking about questions you may have about:
the Daphnia Magna starring in the video
how a microscope functions
the history of the development of microscopes
how you can design an experiment using microscopes
Thank you to Biobus for hosting the workshop at their BioBase Harlem headquarters in the Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute and Math for America for providing the opportunity.

This is another video that will teach you step by step how to use a microscope to look closely at specimens (objects that you study).
Using Binoculars
Using Binoculars
This video will teach you step by step how to use binoculars to view distant objects like plants and animals. You will learn to focus the binoculars.
