The Magical World Under a Microscope...

Our 6th grade class learned how to use a microscope!

We were able to view living paramecium, euglena and amoeba under the scopes.  It was amazing!  That protist kingdom sure has some amazing protozoans! 

                                                                            
We learned how the different lenses work in order to enlarge the image.  We were able to view different specimens under 3 different magnifications. 




The worlds under a microscope are amazing!!!!



Seaweed under a scope is like looking at stained glass windows.  Nature is an amazing artist!


This is a live amoeba, searching for food!
