Topics addressed

7. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept and addressing the content in the other three strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations. Students will:

a. Select and use appropriate tools and technology (including calculators, computers, balances, spring scales, microscopes, and binoculars) to perform tests, collect data, and display data.

This lab is designed as an introduction to microscope use and microscopy for middle school students. We have included two activities. One of them is an activity that uses slides that the students create themselves using newsprint and the letter"e". Getting the students comfortable with microscope usage is often the most difficult part of this activity. It is very important that they understand how to use the microscope and how it works. There is a diagram link below. Have the students study this diagram so that they know the parts, which objective to use. It is very important that the students don't focus to close to the slide with the high power objective, as this can permanently damage the lens.

     

Study Guide:

This activity should be done using the low power objective

1. This activity works best with newsprint.

2. With your scissors cut out the letter "e" from the newsprint.
3. Place it on the glass slide so it looks like (e).

4. Place a cover slip over the letters.

5. Using the low power objective focus on the letter. Make some general observations about

Microscope Information

Questions:

1. Did the letter appear in the same orientation when viewed through the microscope as viewed without the microscope?

2. When you move the slide to the right what direction does it appear to move under the microscope?

3. What happened to the image when you switched objectives?

How did the position of the E appear to change when it was viewed through the microscope?

This is a picture of a letter e shown at 40X. This slide was set up with the letter in the correct orientation. Notice that it appears upside down when viewed under the microscope.

How did the position of the E appear to change when it was viewed through the microscope?

This is a picture of the letter "e" shown at 100X. Notice, that as you increase the power of the lens, your field of view gets smaller.

How did the position of the letter E appear to change when it was viewed through the microscope?

The letter “e” appears upside down and backwards under a microscope.

What happens to the position of the small letter E under the microscope Why?

Answer and Explanation: Under a microscope, the letter e appears to be flipped upside down because of the two lenses on the microscope. Because of the magnification, the letter e appears inverted under a microscope when compared to the letter e seen normally.

Which way did the E appear to move when viewed through the microscope when the slide is moved to the right?

As you move the slide toward the right of the stage, to which direction does the image of the "e" move when viewed through the microscope? To the left.

How is the letter E on the slide oriented when you see it under low or high power magnification?

Notice that it appears upside down when viewed under the microscope. This is a picture of the letter "e" shown at 100X. Notice, that as you increase the power of the lens, your field of view gets smaller.
