Edexcel I A Level Biology - Light Microcope unit and Core Practical

This series of 3 lessons covers:
the terms magnification and resolution
the differences between light and electron microscopes
the importance of staining in microscopy; a series of practicals with instructions
how to make plan drawings of specimens
how to use a graticule.

I have included different tasks, some individual and some group work. I have encouraged my students to study independently rather than give all of the information. There are also a series of exam questions to test understanding.

These lessons provide support towards the core practical
