Applying the Scientific Method to the Use of a Compound Microscope

Students can use the scientific method to explore the workings of a compound microscope. After completing this series of lab exercises, general biology students (non-science majors) will understand the scientific method and how to apply it for problem solving in everyday situations, trouble shooting, and experimental design. After completing this series of lab exercises, general biology students (non-science majors) will understand how to use a compound microscope to view and measure microscopic specimen.
