Description
View the mystery and remarkable detail found in God's microscopic world through the detailed, full-color images in this supplemental resource. Beginning with a brief history of microscopes, students will learn detailed information and practical tips for using a modern microscope in the classroom, view examples of stained and unstained slide samples, study brightfield, darkfield and phase contrast microscopy, and view detailed full color images. A sampling of included slide images include fibers, minerals, animal muscle, skin, hair, blood, flatworm, cheek cells, paramecium, bacteria, human blood, mosquito, fruit fly, amoeba, yeast, mold, algae, and much more. To aide students and teachers, many of the slide images are labeled for easier identification of microscopic structures. This may be exceptionally beneficial for a student who struggles to view microscopic slides due to vision issues or other learning challenges. While an excellent supplement to any biology curriculum, it is also a companion book to Master Books Biology (item # 049117). If using this book alongside the Master Books Biology course, you would not need a microscope to fulfill the microscopic lab requirements. 96 pgs, pb. ~ Deanne
Publisher's Description of Biology Through a Microscope (Lab Book)
Providing an overview of God's world through a microscope, this book gives a brief history of microscopes before diving into seeing the world through one. Starting with their simple origins in the 13th century as magnifying glasses and exploring some of the many modern varieties of imaging, we explore how they are used and some of what may be seen through one now.
- Filled with full-color microscopic images of varied animals, insects, plants and fungi, and microorganisms, as well as detailed information for using the modern microscope in the classroom.
- Discusses examples of stained and unstained slide samples, brightfield, darkfield, and phase contrast microscopy.
- Includes practical tips about the use of the microscope and labels many of the slide images for easier identification of microscopic structures.
Though this is an independent text that can be used with any biology study, it also serves as a companion book in the Master's Class Biology: The Study of Life From a Christian Worldview high school course available from Master Books®. Those who purchase this book would not have to purchase a microscope in order to fulfill the requirements.
