We are working on our cheek cell lab. We had to make a new slide because they had dried out.
Answer the following questions in your notebook once you have found something on your microscope-
-Draw the cells at high and low power
-Why is the blue methylene necessary?
-Why can the dye get inside the cell?
-Is the cell made up of parts? How do you know? Do you know the names of any parts?(If yes, label your diagrams)
After viewing the cheek cell some of the groups were able to go outside and find a piece of grass. They came inside and ripped the grass into a smaller piece. (above: cheek cells)

They put it on a slide, and with a transfer pipette they put one drop of water on the grass. They put the glass cover slip on top and observed it. The groups drew what they saw on high and low power.

Nice Post! in your post, you told us how to make the slide for the grass cells, but do you do the same thing to make the cheak cell slide? I remember we used blue liquid on our cheak cell slide. What was that blue stuff?
