Product Information
Introduce junior and senior high school students to the world of microscopy with inexpensive, unbreakable microslides. Microslides consist of a strip of film with eight photomicrographs, each reproduced exactly as you would see them through a professional microscope under ideal conditions. You can supply all your students with their own microslides. A detailed text folder is included. Viewers are available separately.
The activities which every living organism must carry on in order to survive are called the life functions. These include movement, response to stimuli, and obtaining food and oxygen. Also included in that equation is reproduction, even though it is possible for an organism to continue living without reproducing. This set poises the question, "Why is reproduction classed as a life function?" and examines the basic processes that occur in asexual reproduction. The set features one strip of eight images. Also included is a key to image descriptions.
