Explore the world of one-celled and many-celled living things using
microscopes and magnifying glasses in Bioscience. Students will
examine plant and animal cells and discover how they are similar
and different. In addition, the young biologists will make their own
slides to observe microscopic animals, onion cells, and aquatic herbs,
as well as dissect a flower and examine each part. Students also will
learn about bacteria (germs!)--other microorganisms studied by biologists.
They'll find out why some bacteria are helpful and others are harmful.
For more information or to sign up visit your local
public library. Check back for class schedule and locations.
