MODULE #1: Biology: The Study of Life
The Microscope
We'll be revisiting classification in nearly every module, so don't worry. It won't go away. However, this brief introduction allows us to get started exploring creation. In the next two modules, we will be taking an in-depth look at kingdoms Monera and Protista. Since these kingdoms are composed of microorganisms, the labs we do in those two modules are heavily microscope-oriented. If you don't have a microscope, however, don't be concerned. We will have drawings or pictures of everything that you need to know, so a microscope isn't essential for taking this course. It does, however, help to make things clearer and more interesting. So for those who do have one, you need to perform Experiment 1.2. If you don’t have a microscope, please read through the experiment so that you get a basic idea of what it covers.
