Description
 
Are you looking for a great activity for your kids to learn about microscope? This product has 3 great activities that will surely not only help them explore this important topic but also keep them engaged. There are three parts to the activities. 
Part 1 ( create and timeline) : Students research the history of microscopes and create a timeline to learn about how microscopes have evolved over the years. Everything about the timeline is provided in the product. Student on have to cut and paste after they research. I have included some credible research links/QR codes to aid your students. ( the product also has suggested activities after students complete their time line + answer keys )
 
Part 2 ( compare and contrast) : Students observe images of electron and light/optical microscopes and write down their observations. They also write down some advantages and limitations of each type of microscope.
 
Part 3 ( label and color) : Students label the parts of the compound microscope and color the picture (optional). 
 
All parts have their answer keys included as well as a teacher guide to assist you. This is one of my favorite lessons because it promotes independent learning in my students and takes short time to prepare. I truly hope you find it helpful just as I have. Have an amazing class!
