Year 6 use the microscopes

Using the iBook on the new iPads year6 found out how to calculate the field of view 
There is lots of information in the iBook as well as quizzes and puzzles that help consolidate the information. 
Using the iPads in pairs ensures that pupils discuss the new concepts and helps them to fully understand. 
Now it's time to apply all they have learned in a practical application. 
Careful focussing helps get accurate results. 
These microscopic measurements will help us next lesson when we look at cells.
