Plant Cell Study

For your STEM curriculum.

Grades 6 and up. Simple, step-by-step lab activity provides a sense of realism and participation that commercially prepared slides or illustrations can’t possibly duplicate. Users prepare slides using the pre-cut monocot and dicot plant cross sections and macerated stem tissue. After staining and mounting the samples, users then view their slides through a microscope (not included). Clearly diagrammed cell guides and individualized worksheets are provided to help the users through this fascinating activity. In addition to observing and studying stem cells, they develop an understanding of the art of slide preparation, a skill necessary in future life science and biology classes. There is enough slide preparation materials for 30 users in this kit. Contents: 90 microscope slides, 90 cover slips, 30 tissue transfer brushes, one drop-controlled bottle of glycerine, four drop-controlled bottles of differential stain, one vial of dicot cross-sections, one vial of macerated stem tissues, one vial of monocot cross-sections, instructor’s guide with MSDS, 30 worksheets, and 30 user’s guides.
