Everyone knows that plant or animal cells look really cool when viewed through a microscope. Slides mounted with parts of crab legs or a flower stem are often featured in classroom science lessons. But did you ever wonder how ordinary things look when viewed up-close and personal, such as ink on paper or a piece of hair? No need to keep wondering---this set of slides features samples of items you and we see everyday. The set includes 1 slide specimen each of samples of tobacco, cork, human hair (both straight and curly), 3 color dyed fibers, and a paper letter “e”. It also comes with a guide of interesting facts about each of the specimens. This is a great science resource for any classroom, and is a wonderful way to show the unique cell structure and makeup of seemingly commonplace items. An awesome home-schooling resource, this set can be used with any compound microscope you have at home or at school. A great scientific educational gift for the aspiring young scientist in your family!

Features:

• 5 glass slides (featuring specimens of cork, the letter “e” on paper, straight and curly human hair, tobacco, and 3 color dyed fibers)
• Guide of facts about specimens

Warning: Contains glass. Adult supervision recommended. Ages 9 and up.

  Prepared microscope slides
Jeanette Hayden from Waxahachie, Tx.
My 12-year-old son loves looking at the prepared slides under his microscope. He couldn't wait to get his science order so he could set up his "lab" in his playroom. He also uses the blank slides to look at things he finds outside and in the house. Xump is his favorite Science site.
