Microscope+Studies

Today during science we studied our blood and cheek cells. It was very fascinating to see what was a part of us and how different they were.

It was really interesting because we could see the nucleus of the cell as well as the cell membrane. There was also some other objects that we could see with the microscope but I still haven't identified them. I want to do this over the next class though. The pictures above and below are pictures taken of what we could see when we looked through the microscope when studying my blood. They are kind of unclear but you can still see the round shaped cells. It was very interesting to compare blood cells with different people because Barbie's blood cells were very different while Amelie's and Elena's cells were pretty similar to mine. In the next class i would like to think of why and how our cells are different and what that means.
