Hypothesis: What does our Cheek Cells look like under the microscope?
Equipment:
- Popsicle stick
- Slide
- Sodium Chloride
- Methylene blue (Stain)
Method:
- The first thing was one of our group members had to take the Popsicle stick and swab it gently in their mouth.
- Then they had to transfer the cells onto the slide.
- After that we had to add a drop of Sodium Chloride to our slide.
- Then we had to add a drop of Stain to drop of Sodium Chloride.
Observation:
When we looked at the cells the first time is was on the lowest magnification. As I saw it it was really small, and all I saw were small dots and little lines.
When we looked the second time the magnification was at the second level. I looked into the lenses and I saw the cells. They looked really different to how it looked the first time. It looked like autumn leaves, that had many dots around it.
Lastly, it looked like a piece of land on a map. It was like a shape of a country with dots all around it. But the shape looked more like a zig zaggy country.
