Young scholars explore mold, the different types and the health risks that they pose.  In this mycelium lesson students grow different molds and see which type of foods mold the fastest. 

In this flatworm worksheet, students observe a flatworm in a petri dish. Students describe the flatwork and measure the planarian. Students complete the various charts about the movement and observations of the planarian.

For this comparing plant cells and animal cells worksheet, students view cells from their cheeks and cells from elodea. A Venn diagram reveals similarities and differences between the cells.

Students become familiar with common microorganisms and experience exploring the microbial world.

This is a Microscope Internet Lab that can be used as a virtual lab for a whole class or as a make-up lab. The virtual microscope is a little more complicated than the microscope that is used in the labs but it will not be difficult to...

In this activity, students use a virtual biology lab to perform investigations and learn lab procedures using compound and dissecting microscopes to look at a variety of animal and plant cells.

In this science simulation, students learn how to use a microscope as they investigate bacterial contamination in a sample of yogurt.

This interactive website about microscopes and microbes provides students with an introduction to cellular biology.

This analogy story explains the manner in which the wavelength of light affects the maximum resolution of a microscope.
