Cheek cells under the microscope.

Today room 4 were looking at cheek cells. We wanted to see what our cheek cells would look like under the microscope.

Hypothesis: We will see some of the organelle.

Equipment: - Lolly pop stick
                   - Slide
                   - Sodium Chloride
                   - Methylene blue (stain)

Method: First we took the lolly pop stick and rubbed it on the side of our cheek. Then we put it on a slide, he added a drop of sodium chloride and a drop of methylene blue to stain it.

Observation: I saw the membrane, little circles and tiny line like figures.

  1. Hey there Pauline,
    my name is Jedi and I am a year eight in rimu class. I think that this post is super! Because you have a description, a photo (or drawing-not sure) and you even added details on what you did. Is that a photo of the cell, or just a drawing you did?

    This reminded me of the time we were learning about microscopes at tech. We studied different types of cells and microscopic things. Just like paramecium, do you know what that is?

    To improve, maybe you could have presented this in a different way. Like on- Prezi, Piktochart, Google drawings or Canva.
    Otherwise this post was amazing to see.

    Keep up the great work Pauline
    -Jedi😃♥
