Standard A: Know and apply the concepts, principles and processes of scientific inquiry. 11.A.1f: Compare observations of individual and group results. Procedures: 1. The students will discuss the field trip in a class discussion. The students will tell the class about interesting observations they may have had. 2. The students will pair with a shoulder partner to observe the samples under a microscope. 3. The students will choose two samples to draw and describe. On the worksheet the students will draw what they see under the microscope. The students will also describe their observations with the microscope. 4.
