Parts of a Microscope – Free Printable

So our youngest is all about science anything. Experiments. Microscopes. It’s all stuff he soaks up like a little sponge and asks to do all.the.time. 

Over the past two weeks we have been learning about microscopes and spending time examining things on slides. Two of his siblings are also studying similar topics in their science lessons, so it’s been fun to work on together – especially when one project went a little south and we had mold instead of the culture we were growing. We happened to later talk about the accidental discovery of penicillin and the Noble Prize that was given for that, and Kaleb is now convinced he will be the next Nobel winner thanks to growing mold.

(I’m not as certain on the mold part in my house.)

Anyway, as we are learning about microscopes in our Nancy Larson Science 4 program (which we love, love, love), we have been working through some extra helps to make sure he is catching all the facts. I put together the Parts of a Microscope sheet for him and 12 trivia questions to go along with our lessons and he is loving it! 

The Parts of a Microscope Printables include the following worksheets:

• a completed parts of a microscope worksheet
• a fill-in-the-blank (or cut/paste) parts of a microscope worksheet
• 12 trivia questions about the parts of a microscope
• an answer page (just in case you need it)
