core practicals

• Investigate biological

  specimens using

  microscopes including

  magnification calculations

  and labelled scientific

  drawings from

  observations

  This practical allows students to develop their skills in

  using a light microscope, preparing slides, and

  producing labelled scientific drawings. Students need to

  be familiar with the set-up and use of a light

  microscope, as well as to be able to identify structures

  that they see. Magnification calculations will also be

  required.
