Yesterday during our science lesson we put our selves into pairs and got given a microscope that we had to connect into the wall peiece. Our first step was to grab a slide which is a little rectangular shaped glass that has a little dip in the middle of the centre. In the centre of the slide we use a pipette that is used to transform a source of liquid into the little dip that is found in the centre of a slide. We then place the slide onto the microscope machine that then can show us the little bacteria found in the liquid source. On the left side is a photograph that represents what we saw through the microscope.
On the right side there is another image of a weird shaped bacteria that we as pairs were trying to find in the liquid. We looked at it for a long time and changed the scope so that we could look at it from a different angle but we still didn't see anything move, it was a weird shape and there were very few dots and more like stick figure shapes shown.

Thanks for sharing Kalo! :) We were a bit unlucky with the batch of amoeba (still a single-celled organism but different to a bacteria) that we bought from somewhere.. there were no amoeba in them! Nobody in Year 9 got to see their own amoeba under the microscope. I'm glad you got to have a go making your own slide though and learning how to focus your microscope.
