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.
