Intro To Pond Water (Monday-Wednesday)
The students will spend the class period exploring microscope usage while examining pond water specimens.
Working in small groups, the students will prepare a wet mount slide and examine it for anything with a cellular organization, meaning it could be a living thing.
After getting the specimen in clear focus, the students will switch to medium power and refocus in order to create a drawing of their observation.
Each group is expected to produce two drawings from this activity, and two (more detailed) drawings after discussion and critique of their first drawings.
