Digital Microscopy Learn to why scientists use microscopes, the biology of microbes and how to create biological drawings Enquire Now Hands-on Biology Lab An interactive hands-on science workshop for primary school where students get to look at all sorts of things up close! We can structure this interactive workshop around microbes and their structures should your class be studying this topic; otherwise students can rotate in pairs or threes around the 10 digital microscopes to observe: your students’ own hair and skin leaves, flowers, stems, algae, seaweed feathers, scales coca-cola, coffee and tea stains nylon, polyester, acrylic, silk, foam and wool insect legs, abdomen and wings fungus, beans, rice microfilm, newspaper and magazine clipping + much more! We discuss why the observed structures are present with the students sketching and labelling their specimens. Often the excitement builds through the workshop as the students realise there is much more than meets the eye. Even seemingly mundane objects having amazing qualities under the microscope! This engaging science workshop offers primary science students a chance to be introduced to microscopes in a fun atmosphere.
