A study of the microscope is helpful in exploring environments and the kingdoms of living things found within. Lessons are designed to empower students to first become familiar with learning the parts of the microscope and the uses for each part. Using pre- and post- testing via computer or worksheets, students may focus on hands-on labs using slides.
