    This document outlines a lab experiment involving the use of microscopes to observe plant and animal cells. The objectives are to learn how to use a microscope and compare plant and animal cells. Students will view cheek cells from their own cheek under the microscope after staining with iodine. They will also view Elodea leaf cells under the microscope to observe plant cell structures like the cell wall and chloroplasts. The lab aims to help students understand the differences between plant and animal cells at a microscopic level.

    Lab #3
    Microscope Lab
    Lab Station # _______
    Lab Members: Seat A:_____________________________
    Seat B:_____________________________
    Seat C: _____________________________
    Seat D: _____________________________

    Standard(s):
    S7CS2. Students will use standard safety practices for all classroom laboratory and field
    investigations.
    S7CS4. Students will use tools and instruments for observing, measuring, and
    manipulating equipment and materials in scientific activities.
    S7L1. Students will investigate the diversity of living organisms and how they can be
    compared scientifically.
    Essential Question:
    What are the major differences between a plant and animal cell?
    Answer:

    Objectives:
    To learn the parts of the microscope.
    To find specimens using low and high power.
    To make a wet mount.
    To view your own human cheek cells under the microscope.
    To compare plant and animal cells.
    Procedure: Letter “e”
    1. Cut out the letter “e” and place it on the slide face up.
    2. Add a drop of water to the slide.
    3. Place the cover slip on top of the “e” and drop of water at a 45-degree angle and
    lower. Draw what is on the slide in Figure1.
    4. Place the slide on the stage and view in low power (4x). Center the “e” in your
    field of view. Draw what you see in Figure 2.
    5. Move the slide to the left, what happens? Move the slide to the right, what
    happens? Up? Down?
    6. View the specimen in high power (10x). Use the fine adjustment only to focus.
    Draw what you see in Figure 3.
    Data: Part 1- The letter “e”
    Figure 1: Drawing of the letter “e” on the slide.
    Figure 2: Drawing of the letter “e” in low power (4x).
    Figure 3: Drawing of the letter “e” in high power (10x)
    Analysis:
    1. How does the letter “e” as seen through the microscope differ from the way an
    “e” normally appears?
    2. When you move the slide to the left, in what direction does the letter “e” appear to
    move? When you move it to the right? Up? Down?
    3. How does the ink appear under the microscope compared to normal view?
    4. Why does a specimen placed under the microscope have to be thin?
    Procedure: Part 2 - Cheek Cell
    1. Place a small drop of Iodine onto a clean slide.
    2. Using a toothpick, gently scrape the inside of you cheek.
    3. Place the toothpick tip into the iodine and mix. The iodine stains the cells so you
    can see them.
    4. Place the slide under low power (4x). Draw what you see in Figure 4.
    5. Switch to high power (10x). Draw 2 or 3 cells in Figure 5. Label the nucleus, cell
    membrane, and cytoplasm.
    Analysis:
    1. Why did we add iodine to our cheek cells?
    2. What structure in the cheek cell was stained the darkest?
    3. Is your cheek cell an animal cell?
    Procedure: Part 3 - The Elodea leaf
    1. Place a drop of water on a clean slide.
    2. Place an Elodea leaf in the drop of water, place a coverslip on top.
    3. Observe under low power first (4x), then under high power (10x) Draw in Figure
    6. Label the following organelles: nucleus, cytoplasm, cell wall, chloroplasts.
    Data: Part 3 – The Elodea Cell
    Figure 6: Drawing of the Elodea cell in high power (10x)

    Analysis:
    1. Was anything happening in your cell?

    2. What structures were in the plant and animal cell?

    3. What structures were only in the Elodea cell?

    Conclusion: 2-3 sentences on what you learned.

    YOU MUST CLEAN UP! ALL SLIDES ARE CLEANED AND PUT AWAY.
