microscope

Ooh! some exciting work today...
as for the biology gcse, i realised there is some ks3 material we have not covered. so i got out the cgp ks3 science book (it came in a bundle, i hadn't looked at it). the 1st 9 chapters are biology.
So we looked at the first page: the parts of a microscope. we looked up each part on the web, named the parts & what they do. THEN! they went on Little Big Planet level builder on the ps3 (they are very quick and able on this and enjoy it absolutely.) "Build me a microscope!" i said.
They built me a (virtual) micoscope, including a lamp that turns on, reflects from a mirror underneath up into the glass slide, upon which they put a tiny dead fish. they put moveable clips holding the slide onto the stage. i was very pleased with the work & they were so enthused! YAY!
as soon as i've worked out how to connect the ps3 to the laptop i'll put the picture up!
Praise the Lord for different ways of doing things!
