תווית מיקרוסקופ

Microscopes are an essential tool to use when studying cells. They allow us to see things that we wouldn’t be able to see with the naked eye. In order to study cells in detail, it's important that students learn how to use a microscope. Before using microscopes in the classroom, they should understand the names and function of each part. In this activity, students will create a poster of a microscope with labeled parts. Students will identify and describe the microscope parts and functions. This is an awesome activity to complete at the beginning of either the school year or the unit on basic cells.

Parts of the Microscope

In addition to optical microscopes, you can also run an activity looking at electron microscopes, which allow scientists to see things that are much smaller and in much greater resolution than optical microscopes. As an extension of this parts of a microscope labeling activity, have your students create a narrative storyboard on how to correctly prepare and observe cells using a microscope.
