  • EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING our context of E tipu e rea through Biology by recognising key parts of a microscope and locating these.
    • We are EXPLORING our context of E tipu e rea through Biology by investigating onion cells and observing these under a microscope to discover key parts of a plant cell

    Kia Ora Yr 9. This week we will continue from the work you've done from the Genetics document. Please make sure to complete this with the microscope work and plant/animal cell recap work. 


    Success Criteria: I can/have...

      • state that cells can been seen with a microscope,
      • label the main parts of a microscope,
      • describe how a specimen can be prepared and viewed under a microscope,
      • calculate the total magnification of a microscope.

    Activities:

    1. Microscope identification of parts 
    2. Onion cell experiment 

    Homework:
    Finish worksheet on google classroom 




    Plan for the week is as follows: 

    Monday: Cells refresher/microscope labelling worksheet 

    Tuesday: Wednesday (SLC) no classes - please complete worksheet from Monday 

    Thursday: Onion cell microscope experiment. This is an important science skill and may be assessed in CAT so do take extra attention in note-taking and participating in the experiment. Worksheet is on Google classroom to be completed.
