Publisher's Synopsis
ScienceWiz® Cells, Under a Microscope, uses a breakthrough, clip-on microscope to convert a mobile device into a high-performance microscope. With 200 - 400 X magnification, children of all ages can view a microscope slide without any need to squint down a long tube.
NO FOCUSING REQUIRED.
The fully illustrated 40 page book explores the microscopic world of cells - the building blocks of all life on Earth. This Online Discovery version of ScienceWiz® Cells includes a flip-book with embedded animations, videos, games, and interactive simulations.
Children learn to prepare their own microscope slides. They view and investigate onion cells, plant leaf cells and their own cheek cells. They watch pond scum and primitive single celled organisms swim in and out of view. They learn about the incredible and nearly indestructible tardigrades. They go water bear hunting.
This Online Discovery version of Cells takes pond scum investigations to an fascinating level of visualization and explanation.
ScienceWiz® Cells explores the answers to such questions as: what makes a cell, a cell? What makes animal and plant cells different from bacterial cells? What do ALL cells have in common? What do all cells do? When did the very first common ancestor to all other cells first appear on Earth? What do we know about the likely genetic makeup of that first cell? It is a detective story!
"Life is strange. It is not as you might think. Every cell alive today has always been alive for at least four billion years - that is the logical conclusion of every cell coming from another cell!"
Includes a handle box for easy storage and transport.
