Cells Intro, Using a Microscope

Hey everyone! Today in 7th Grade Science, we started to look at Cells of different things using a microscope. Some people looked at Cells of onions, some of their own cheeks, and drew them. Some things we learned:
1. Different Magnifications (multiply by 10- 4x is really 40x)
2. Different parts of a microscope
3. How to handle a microscope
4. Different types of cells: eukaryotic cells (with a nucleus) and prokaryotic cells (without a nucleus
Tonight's Homework: Read Cell Packet Pages 9 and 18, and answer questions 1-4 in the worksheet which is posted on first class.
Looking Ahead: Tomorrow: More Cells, looking under a microscope
