Microscopy
by Cristi Sims
In studying science, we are limited by the bounds of our own senses when collecting data. By developing technology that allows us to enhance and extend our senses, we can study things we would not ordinarily be able to. Telescopes look into the farthest reaches of space and microscopes enable us to look deep within our own cells. By using microscopes, we can observe cells on a level that we could never see with our naked eyes. This lesson plan includes digital resources to enhance a student's understanding of scale, parts of a microscope, how to use a microscope and then taking photos/videos with their own cell phones through the microscope to obtain real images of cells that they will discuss in a video submission.

This lesson is a whole unit on energy. It can be broken up into 10 separate lessons. I chose to put them all together so that it was easier to see how I organized them so you did not have to search
