Book Reviews of World of the Microscope (Science & Experiments Series)
Book Review: Outstanding resource for learning to use and love a microscope
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent, albeit slim (48 pages), volume written for upper elementary/middle school students. It is intended to be used with a microscope, as it has directions about how to use a microscope (such as never lower the lens while you are looking through the microscope), suggestions for basic things to look at with a microscope (feathers, hair, etc..), and then complete instructions for looking at more complicated subjects such as cells (hoe to make a temporary mount and examine cells from your cheeks), bacteria (growing your own bacteria using petri dishes and gelatin), fungi (mushroom spores), plant sections (how to make your own microtome), and so on.
The book also includes a short history of the microscope, an explanation of how microscopes work, and a description of how they are used in scientific research and industry.
This book includes drawings rather than photographs, and uses Usborne's typical two page spread for each topic.
Enthusiastically recommended.
