INVESTIGATING WITH MICROSCOPES

We have different types of microscopes at the Science Lab:

OPTICAL MICROSCOPE WITH LIGHT SOURCE

OPTICAL MICROSCOPE WITH MIRROR SOURCE

BINOCULAR MICROSCOPE WITH LIGHT SOURCE

BINOCULAR MICROSCOPE WITH LIGHT SOURCE

BINOCULAR MICROSCOPE WITH LIGHT SOURCE

Students worked in pairs to carry out two different tasks:

TASK 1

Choose two animal samples and two human samples. Observe them with the binocular microscope and draw your observations in the sheet below.

TASK 2

Choose one sample. Observe it with the different magnification objectives and draw what you see in the observation sheet.

THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD

Scientists use the scientific method to find answers to questions and to solve problems. It is based on making observations, asking questions and looking for answers to questions through science experiments.

 

These are the main steps of the Scientific Method:

1. Ask a question
2. Gather information and observe (research)
3. Make a hypothesis (guess the answer)
4. Experiment and test your hypothesis
5. Analyze your test results
6. Present a conclusion

 

 

 

 

 

SEPARATION OF SAND AND SALT FROM WATER

1. We needed a bowl, a beaker, a funnel and filter paper and a burner.


BEAKER

BURNER

FUNNEL

FILTER PAPER

2. We put some salt into the bowl and made a solution.

3. We added some sand and made a mixture.

4. We poured the mixture through the funnel and filter paper (sieve) into a baker.

 

 

5. The solution filtrated.

 

6. We heated the solution in the beaker. (flask)

7. The water evaporated.
