Description | In this lesson, Bugscope will be used to show students the differences between different types of microscopes. They will be comparing what they see using a compound microscope to what they see using the bugscope. They will be asked to write a journal entry about the experience as part of a microscope packet. Saltsburg MHS is composed of approximately 450 students. Last year, only two of these students were an ethenicity other than caucasian. I will have one of these students in my biology class. Otherwise, my classes will be composed of equal amounts male and female students. I will be videotaping the classes in which we use bugscope so that I may share the lesson at our monthly science meetings. At these meetings, we help teachers who are uncomfortable teaching biology develop a greater understanding of science concepts. |
