Plant Cells Investigation Pack
$8.00
A complete microscopy investigation for teen scientists aged 14 to 16. Prepare real slides from an onion at home and from a field-collected algae or pondweed sample, observe plant cells under magnification, and produce scientific drawings to the standard used by working biologists. Includes full answer sheet.
Description
Learning to identify cells from a diagram is one thing. Preparing your own slide, focusing a microscope, and drawing exactly what you can see is something else entirely. This investigation pack builds the real skills.
You will work in two stages. Part A uses a fresh onion at home. Part B takes you into the field to collect and prepare a sample of algae or pondweed. Both parts follow the same rigorous method used by biology students in science programmes worldwide.
Inside the pack you will find:
A scientist’s brief explaining why every biologist needs this skill, background knowledge covering plant and animal cell structure with full labelled diagrams, a step by step slide preparation method for both home and field samples, scientific drawing rules and observation record pages, five evaluation questions including comparison of prediction against actual observation, a going further section with four extension options, and a marine connection section linking cell biology to real world marine science.
A full answer sheet is included for self or co-marking.
Suitable for ages 14 to 16. Works well from age 13 for confident younger students. Designed for secular homeschool families but works equally well as a standalone investigation for any teen studying biology.
