GCSE Biology Revision "Required Practical 1: Microscopes"

GCSE workbooks www.amazon.co.uk/Dr-Shaun-Don...
School licenses from 40p per copy www.freesciencelessons.co.uk/...
In this video, we look at the required practical on microscopes. First we explore the different parts of the optical microscope and then we look at how to use an optical microscope to view a prepared slide. We then explore the features of animal and plant cells visible under the optical microscope and how to draw a magnification scale bar.

Amazing, there are no words to describe you, the way you teach is like no other teacher, been watching you for 3 years, had a Triple Science Entrance Exam, I would have failed if it weren't for you and less than half of 46 people got accepted.In less than 10 minutes I can learn more than what I learn in an hour in school. Keep it up, there aren't many people like you to go out of your time and do this. (I'm subscribed, don't worry :)
