This week, we continued using microscopes to explore and study cells. Students got to make their own slides and viewed cheek and onion cells. We also got to use the microscopes to see microorganisms that live in the pond in front of the school.
Next week, we will learn about cell organelles (the organs within each cell). Students will be working on a cell analogy project (due date TBD).
Social Studies: Mr. Cahn
