BIOLOGY & LIFE SCIENCES

PLANT CELL STUDY
Kit #61
Students prepare slides using the pre-cut monocot and dicot
plant cross-sections and macerated stem tissue . After staining and
mounting the samples, students then view their slides through a
microscope (not provided) .
Clearly diagramed cell guides and individualized student worksheets
are provided to help the students through this fascinating activity .
In addition to observing and studying stem cells, students develop
an understanding of the art of slide preparation, a skill necessary in
future life science and biology classes .
MICROSCOPES ARE NEEDED .
Accommodates two classes, each with 15 groups of two students.

STUDY OF THE STRUCTURE AND
FUNCTION OF MITOCHONDRIA

Kit #62
This unique kit uses celery to vividly present the study of
mitochondria to your students . Normal preparation methods tend
to destroy the mitochondria . The Lab-Aids method utilizes a
®
special stain that acts as a hydrogen acceptor . Students “observe”
mitochondria oxidizing food. The stain on the slides gradually loses
color as hydrogen is removed .
In this activity, students prepare microscope slides and observe
mitochondria, both as cytoplasmic particles and as centers of enzyme
activity - the “energy producers” in cells . Very fresh celery and
microscopes, required for this activity, are not provided .
Accommodates three classes, each with 15 groups of two students.

DIFFERENTIATION OF
CELLS EXPERIMENT
Kit #63
Cell differentiation is a process by which the development of a living
organism is achieved . Through a series of progressive changes,
a generalized cell transforms into a specialized cell. The more
specialized the cell becomes, the less likely it is to divide. After the
seeds germinate, students prepare slides, then watch the living
material differentiate before their eyes .
Students will also observe generalized cellular divisions in
meristematic root cap tissue and isolate specialized cells. In the final
activity, students diagram and label the differentiated cells .
MICROSCOPES ARE NEEDED .
Accommodates three classes, each with 15 groups of two students.
