Magnification Investigation!
What do things look like super close up What do things look like super close up! We will be looking at images of common things magnified with a Microscope.
Noctiluca scintillans, a species of phytoplankton, are shown in this magnified image What do you notice??
What to look for? What patterns do you see? Think about shape. Are the shapes you see close together, varying distances, overlapping, is there open space between or touching?
No inferences! No, It looks like…..! Stations At each station will be two things. You will complete the What I notice and What I wonder for each one. You will have 5 minutes to complete both before we switch stations. Be sure to be detailed and use only observations when completing, What I notice. No inferences! No, It looks like…..!
Post lab- finding Patterns. Work with your group to complete. Use complete sentences and think like scientist! Really work hard to make strong connections using your detailed observations.
What do you notice the human/animal samples have in common? Class Discussion What do you notice the human/animal samples have in common? They all have repeating shapes. (circles or rectangular, long hexagons) They all have dots in each shape. Next day after they have had time to complete finding patterns. They all have repeating shapes. (circles or rectangular) They all have dots in each shape.
2. What do you notice the plant samples have in common? Class Discussion 2. What do you notice the plant samples have in common? They all have repeating retangular hexegon shapes. They have a dot in each shape. Each shape is touching another shape in a brick like pattern. The outer line of each shape is thick. Next day after they have had time to complete finding patterns. They all have repeating shapes. (circles or rectangular) They all have dots in each shape.
The animal shapes are more round and there is no consistent patterns. Class Discussion 3. What do you notice is different about the animal pictures compared to the plant pictures? The animal shapes are more round and there is no consistent patterns. Next day after they have had time to complete finding patterns. They all have repeating shapes. (circles or rectangular) They all have dots in each shape.
