Cells, Tissues, Organs and Systems
THE KEY TO SUCCESS IS PERSEVERANCE AND PATIENCE.
Elodea Cells (plant) -green parts are the chloroplasts
-scroll down almost half way and you will see the heading tissues - view all 4 sites - excellent
Experiments - with carrots, celery, and a white carnation
GENETIC ENGINEERING : something to think about
Try to learn the parts of the microscope. There is a little quiz for you on the next page. The microscopes we use at school have a light source attached to the base, not mirrors like the one in the diagram. The microscopes we use are called 'Compound Microscopes'. Good Luck!
Cell Video - a very detailed video
Lots of activities and experiments with microscopes.
-is the food safe -will it harm us in the future -has there been enough testing -cloning and stem cell research -moral and ethical issues -pros and cons
- good general site about cloning
Also , you will find a quiz on the parts of cells! ( good luck )
These sites are very good. Please take the time to browse them.
Zoom In - study the detail of insects using images from a Scanning Electron Microscope.
- Scientist clones embyros
- be sure to check this out
P.2 Name the parts of the microscope Name the different organelles P.3 Pond Water Organisms (photos) P.4 Cells in 3-D (best viewed wearing 3-D glasses)
