Thames & Kosmos Kids First Biology Lab (V 2.0)
Discover the science of living things with this complete introductory microscope kit. The beautifully illustrated experiment manual guides students through observations of many living specimens found in and around their homes: onion cells, pond water, chloroplasts, plant stem cross sections, microorganisms, mouth cells, meat cells, different types of hair and fur, dust mites, bugs, pollen in honey, and much more.
Get to Know:
Students can see how an onion cell shrivels and how a paramecium wiggles. They can also analyze the differences between the hair on their head and a sheep’s hair in a wool sweater. The kit includes slides, cover slips, and many helpful tools for preparing slides and using the microscope to examine them.
Students can investigate how the lenses in a microscope bend light to magnify images. When the ocular lens, or eyepiece lens, works together with the three objective lenses, the result is a total magnification power of 60x, 150x, or 600x. The microscope has a battery-powered light to illuminate the specimens and the full-color, 32-page manual covers microscope setup, usage, and many fascinating observations of biological specimens.
