Hands-on activities are better instead of learning about cell functions and structures through reading, video clips, and clay model manipulation. In addition, the ability to collect specimens, prepare and observe them under a real microscope can enhance the learning experience as well as helping students remember better through hands-on activities, something they need to excel in school.
After reviewing lab safety, students will watch the teacher demonstrate how to use this equipment with care. Then, with supervision, each student will have an opportunity to prepare the slides and observe plant and animal cells using different magnifications to note the differences. Finally, we will draw our observations in our science notebook and discuss how and why each cell has a different shape and how their functions differ.
