Year 8 Science

Microscopes

This term, our Year 8 students learned a lot about the world around us and what it's made of. They have learnt about Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells, membrane bound organelles and how the cell was discovered. 

In the last week, classes have been learning about microscopes. Teachers have been doing demonstrations with some slides using the demonstration microscope projected to the whiteboard and the students have then been having a go at looking at some pre-prepared slides of various things before looking at their own specimens under the light microscopes. They have learnt how to focus, magnify, and describe what they see. 

We look forward to seeing everything they can do, when they complete their summative assessment trying to find the Dirtiest Place in the School.
