Microscope Week

This week in Biology we have been working with microscopes. It's amazing how small something can be and how much is involved in it. Microscopes can see the smallest things that human eyes can't see. We have looked at onions, different kinds of pond water, human saliva, and many many other things. My group got to use like a camera type thing. This camera hooks up to the microscope and then pugs into the computer. We get a clearer view of everything and we got to take cool pictures.
I think my favorite thing so far has been one kind of pond water. There was so much in it! We saw a little guy that sucked up everything in its area and it kept getting bigger and bigger. It was amazing to see.
In class the plan is going to keep learning about cells. Hopefully we get to keep using the microscopes! I want to get better at using it! :-)
