Using the Intel Microscope in Year 1

• Look at fingers, eyes, ears nose and tongues
  close up - senses (1A)
• Look at seeds close up, take time lapse pictures
  of seedlings growing (1B)
• Look at materials close up to see whether they
  have holes in and would not be waterproof (1C)

3
Using the Intel Microscope in Year 2

• Look at minibeasts close up, look at seeds and
  fruits close up (2B)
• Make a slideshow of pictures of minibeasts,
  grouped according to observable features (2C)
• Look at natural and synthetic materials close up,
  observe wet clay, dry clay and fired clay, take
  time lapse pictures of ice melting (2D)

4
Using the Intel Microscope in Year 3

• Look at teeth close up (3A)
• Look at roots close up, and slices of celery, or
  daffodil stem (3B)
• Look at papers for mopping up a spill, and
  predict which will be best (3C)
• Look at rocks and soils, compare textures and
  composition (3D)

5
Using the Intel Microscope in Year 4

• Look at bones and minibeasts with external
  skeletons (4A)
• Look at minibeasts and classify using a key (4B)
• Look at materials to say which would keep
  something warm (4C)
• Look at materials to see which would make the
  best filter, take time lapse pictures of ice
  melting or melted chocolate cooling. Video
  materials mixing and dissolving (4D)
• Look at different surfaces - which causes most
  friction? (4E)
• Look at an electrical bulb closely. How does it
  work? (4F)

6
Using the Intel Microscope in Year 5

• Look at fruits and seeds, stamens of different
  plants and bees bodies and legs. Time lapse
  photography of germination (5B)
• Look at dry sponge or soil to see the gaps
  between bits of solid (5C)

7
Using the Intel Microscope in Year 6

• Look at soil samples and suggest which would
  provide the best habitat for soil living animals
  and plant growth (6A)
• Observe decay using time lapse photography, e.g.
  bread going mouldy in a sealed petri dish.
  Observe yeast growing using time lapse
  photography (6B)
• Use time lapse photography to observe evaporation
  of water from salty water, or sugary water (6C)
• Video mixing materials e.g. Bicarb and vinegar
  (6D)
• Look at stretched and resting rubber bands (6E)
