inquiry

Today in room 4 we were looking at cheek cells. We wanted to see what our cells would look like under
the microscope.


Hypothesis
We will see some of the organelle in our cheek cell


Equipment
Lolly pop stick
Slide
Sodium Chloride
Methylene Blue (stain)


Method
First we put the lolly pop stick inside of our mouth and rubbed our cheek.
Then we wiped the lolly pop stick on the slide
Next we added a drop of sodium chloride on top of the slide
Finally we added a drop of maethylene blue to stain the water blue. 
This meant that our slides were ready to go under the microscope.


Why did we need to dye the liquid slide blue? so you can see the cheek cell in the side of your mouth Z



Observation
I saw little circles with purple thingy i dont no what that is called
