April Coupon save $10: ANDER00SKAMICRO10 Looking at specimens under the compound microscope is nothing short of fascinating! It also can be a bit...confusing. This class will focus on viewing prepared slides in basic 25 slide kit. Learners will learn information about each slide and practice identifying structures being viewed. Each lab will begin with introduction and basic background on slides that will be viewed during lab. Students are encouraged to keep a lab notebook to record...
To be able to view and recognize prepared slides. To keep a lab notebook. To sketch and label structures viewed under microscope. (Optional: Take and catalog pictures of slides.)
I have my BS of Science in Biology, which included studies in Histology and Microbiology. I have taught microscopy within High School Biology Lab setting at local Co-op, as well as on-line through the Outschool platform. Personally I am an ever curious Biologist - I've studies mammalogy, marine biology, ornithology, microbiology, and more. In my classroom I encourage my students to explore and follow there curiosity, ask questions and find answers. I enjoy incorporating traditional learning with technology, helping students gain a deeper understanding material in practical ways.

Recommended:
National Geographic -Mega Biology Set (with Learning Guide)
- should include
- human
skin & tissue, muscles & nerves
nutrient processing systems - stomach, kidney, pancreas, small intestine
- plant parts
- mold & algae
**Students planning more in depth study of microbiology are encouraged to get a larger slide set for Biology - these often include human tissue, animal tissues, insects, plants coming in sets of 60/ 100/ 120 slides.
If learner is new to microscopy - I will offer a brief getting to know your microscope video/ session prior to start of first class. Slides are made of glass, parent supervision at parent discretion.
