I love the idea, but a few questions:
1. How do you prepare a slide? Would you not need to do an oil immersion?
2. What power microscopes would you need for this?
3. Where do you get the samples?
I got the samples from a biological supply company (like Carolina). They come in a water solution so all you need to do is put a drop on a slide with a cover slip. For the yogurt culture I mixed a small amount of plain yogurt with water and put on a slide with a coverslip. We use microscopes that have powers of 4x, 10x and 40x.
Somehow Valentine's Day is more exciting than even Christmas in first grade!?! These projects helped my class stay focused until it was time to open up cards and party.
The chart provided for student note taking was helpful. Very basic info, but it was just enough to follow-up an inquiry introduction lab with living organisms. Diagrams used in PPT were too small to see the labeled structures.
This was very disappointing. It was only a table with times--it did not have a built up template for elementary students to use. I could have made this in 5 minutes.
Waste of $2. It's one page and not much more than the preview.

I don't really know offhand, but I would say around 15. I'm on vacation now so I can't access the presentation. I could get back to you next week with the exact number if you would like.

Mrs Balius (TpT Seller) re: A trip to the Galapagos Islands powerpoint presentation
I am writing a Galapagos Island unit for first and second graders. May I use some of your beautiful pictures from this unit? I am willing to pay a use fee and give you credit in my acknowledgments.
Assuming you're not reselling it, that's fine with me. You can just buy the powerpoint (I don't need a use fee) and give me credit. Thanks!

shporter re: Bacteria, Fungi and Protist Challenge Game Powerpoint
This was awesome with great questions - But, a lot of the links went to slide 1 instead of the slide they were supposed to go to. I just thought I would let you know.

What is BTB solution in the photosynthesis & respiration lab?
It is bromothymol blue solution. It is an indicator for carbon dioxide and turns light green when carbon dioxide is present. You can buy it from a biological supply company.
