1.1 Observing Living Things


 * 1.1 Examining Very Small Living Things** p.11

There are many living things that you cannot see with the naked eye. Because there are so many tiny unicellular and multicellular living things, scientists use microscopes. There are many different types of a microscope. A magnifying lens is used for looking at very simple things. Then there is a **compound light microscope,** used to investigate living things. Finally, the last common microscope is the electron microscope, which scientists use for research. An electron microscope is sometimes used to make images (electron micrographs).


 * Questions || Answers ||
 * Looking around right now, see how many living things are around you. About how many do you see? || About 3 living things around ||
 * What are daphnia also known as? || Daphnia are also known as water fleas. They are microscopic otganisms that live in many types of bodies of water. ||
