Preserved Snowflake Microscope Activity
by msryan
We used this resource in Grade 4 Science to demonstrate how to use a microscope. I preserved snowflakes on microscope slides using frozen superglue. We covered the concept: "in focus" and "out of focus". As a class, we went through and demonstrated parts of a microscope and then they had an opportunity to use the microscope to look at snowflakes. I projected images of the slides so that students were able to all see them at the same time while waiting their turn to use the microscope.
Then we filled out the sheet about their observations for their notes.

Spelling Menu
We use this spelling menu in conjunction with an upper level spelling system. We work on a 2 week rotation, but there are some gaps in the book and days that call for practice outside of the prescribed program. These are the options I've given my students to practice and shared this with families for practicing at home. I hope you enjoy!
