Thames & Kosmos Kids First Biology Lab (V 2.0)
Discover the science of living things using the complete introductory microscope kit. This beautifully illustrated experiment manual guides children 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, the different types of hair and fur, dust mites, bugs, pollen in honey, and more.
Get to Know:
Children can see how an onion cell shrivels and how a paramecium wiggles. They can also analyze the differences between the hairs 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 each of the lenses in a microscope bend light to magnify an image. When its ocular lens, or eyepiece lens, works together with those three objective lenses, the result is a total magnification power of 60x, 150x, or 600x. The microscope has battery-powered lights to illuminate the specimens and the full-color, 32-page manual covers microscope setup, usage, and many fascinating observations of biological specimens.
