EQ: How can we use metric measurement to help us observe objects and organisms under a microscope?

Steps in this lesson: 1.) Watch the following videos in this order: 2.) Complete as much of the measuring packet below as possible. You picked this packet up from the tray by my stop sign. You may review the videos above if needed. This packet will be collected at the end of the period. Don't stress if you do not get it all done.
 * How big is small?
 * Metric Ruler Measurement
 * Measuring mm and cm

Essential Questions

What are microscopes and how do they function as a scientific tool?
> == ==
 * == What are the parts and functions of a microscope? ==
 * == How do we properly use a microscope? ==
 * == What are some patterns we can recognize from viewing an object under a microscope? ==
 * === What is the "Field of View"? ===
 * == What is a focal plane? ==
 * == What is optical power? ==
 * == How can we apply microscope techniques to a living organism? ==

3.) Field of view is the visible area one sees when looking through a microscope.
=== Microscopes have many parts with unique functions. Among them are: eyepiece, body tube, base, arm, fin adjustment, course adjustment, stage, stage clips, diaphragm, light source, revolving nose piece, objectives. ===

6.) Demonstrate techniques of dry mount and wet mount slides.
