Describe the importance of the use of tools in science. Examine a specimen using a microscope and draw what you see.
Create a slide of pond water
Key Vocabulary: Compound microscope, electron microscope, computer, x-ray, coverslip, objective.
Today in class we will explore the tools used by scientists to better understand the world around them. You will start by working in pairs where you will be given a tool to research. You will have to answer some questions and then present your tool to the rest of the class. We will then actually use one of the tools (compound microscope) to examine a drop of pond water. Many of you may be unfamiliar on how to make a slide, therefore, we will go over the proper steps to create one. You will have to draw what you see under the microscope and then draw conclusions of what it is that you are observing. (You may have to use some resources to make these conclusions)
