Let's Become a Junior Microbiologist Level 1

During the next three weeks, your learner will be immersed in the exciting world of microbiology.

Session 1: Anatomy of the Microscope: 20 MINUTES

We will review parts of the microscope and each of their functions. We will look at photos and label a microscope together. 

The following parts will be reviewed: arm, base, coarse focus, fine focus, eye piece, tube, stage, stage clips, objective lenses, illuminator.

Session 2: 10 Cool Things You Can See Under a Microscope: 20 MINUTES

We will look at photos/videos of different biotic species and abiotic items shown at different magnifications.  We can also review names of different biotic species. We will also go over different shapes of bacteria and viruses. Colorful photos and awe-inspiring videos will be shown. 

Session 3: What Can You See Under Your Microscope? : 20 MINUTES

We would then conclude with reviewing steps on how to set up a slide for the microscope to view. This will help guide your learner on how to do this at home. 

Your learner would then receive a Junior Microbiologist Level 1 certificate of participation as well as a PDF of "5 Fun Facts About Microbes".
