Microscopes

Today students had the opportunity to learn about microscopes from Grade 11 Biology students! After lunch we went over to a science lab at the highschool where students were put into small groups with a Grade 11 buddy. They learned about the different parts of a microscope, as well as proper usage and care. Then they each had the opportunity to scrape off some of their own cheek cells and look at them under a microscope! They also looked at onion cells as well as strands of hair. It was a great experience for all. The students were amazed that they could see all of the different organelles in a cell straight from their own mouth.
