Description

In this lab activity, students will classify human tissues using prepared slides including connective, epithelial, muscular, and nervous samples. This lab great way to train your students how to identify tissues by shape and detail when using a microscope. Labels for each microscope station are included for each tissue slide.

Important Information

  • answer key included
  • station labels for each microscope are included...just cut out, fold in half into paper tents, and tape next to microscope
  • perfect activity for biology and anatomy & physiology classes

How it Works

  • Students will observe 6 prepared slides and draw identifiable color pictures of each using map pencils.
  • If you use this as a station lab, you can have two or three microscopes per station and have students rotate using a timer.

My students liked this lab and it gave them practice with the microscopes. But I wish it included some pictures of prepared slides to use for my distance learning students.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry you were not completely satisfied with this activity. I actually have a set of task cards with photos of tissue samples. Here is that link: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Task-Card-Stations-Human-Tissue-Comparison-Cards-4371792 A digital version for distance learning with questions is available at: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Distance-Learning-Tissue-Classification-Task-Cards-PDF-Digital-Activity-4893436 Please let me know if you have any other questions or comments. I appreciate your feedback. Catherine

Develop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting systems that provide specific functions within multicellular organisms. Emphasis is on functions at the organism system level such as nutrient uptake, water delivery, and organism movement in response to neural stimuli. An example of an interacting system could be an artery depending on the proper function of elastic tissue and smooth muscle to regulate and deliver the proper amount of blood within the circulatory system. Assessment does not include interactions and functions at the molecular or chemical reaction level.
