1.1 A case study
Choose an organism for your research, for example a small insect or a part of a plant.
Study the sample by observing it through three levels of magnification:
- With your eyes.
- Through a magnifying glass.
- With a third level of magnification, such as a classroom data projector.
Write down what you notice:
- Make careful observations and record your notes for each step (photo, observations, enlargement).
- Write down what you learned, or something that you already knew but got more accurate information through the observations.
- Write down all the problems, challenges and questions that you faced during the process.
- Compare your findings with your classmates. Write a conclusion together.
