Science: Students began class with the Do Now.  Next, students transitioned into a lab about how to properly use a compound light microscope. Students read some procedures on how to identify and use the components of a microscope, before students were handed as worksheet and asked to complete the questions while moving around the room and looking at several examples of slides on different microscopes around the classroom.  This worksheet will be due on Thursday in class.
