Eye protection should be worn. If reagents come into contact with eyes, irrigate with running water for at least five minutes and seek medical help. Once used, slides of human cheek cells should be put directly into freshly made 1% sodium chlorate (I) (hypochlorite) solution, and students should make no attempt to clean them. Scalpels are not strictly necessary and should only be issued to the most responsible classes. Warn students about the associated dangers. Eye protection is impossible when using microscopes, so attention must be given to when it can safely be removed.

Wear eye protection. If you get iodine solution in your eye, tell a teacher immediately.
What to do 1 Peel away the dead, dry layers from the outside of an onion. Break a layer off, and peel off the thin skin (epidermis) on its inside surface. 2 If you find this difficult, crack the layer down the middle, and the skin may peel off between the two halves. 3 Cut or tear your piece of epidermis so it is no bigger than 7 mm square. Always cut with the scalpel facing away from you, and use a mat or a cutting tile. 4 Place it in the centre of a microscope slide, making sure it is flat and not folded. 5 Add one drop of iodine and cover with a cover slip. 6 Put the slide on the microscope stage and focus the microscope on a group of cells under low power. 7 Rotate the objective lens to medium power and re-focus using the fine focusing knob. Results Draw and label a group of five cells under medium power. Extension 1 You have seen how to make slides of scraped cells (cheek cells) and layers of cells (onion cells). Make new slides of petal cells, root cells, potato cells and tomato cells. Draw what you see under medium power. 2 By putting a ruler under the objective lens, measure the width of the field of view. By estimating how far across the field of view each specimen stretches, estimate the size of each specimen you have prepared.

What to do 1 Remove one anther from your flower using the scissors. 2 Place it on your microscope slide and put it onto the microscope stage. 3 Look at the anthers under low power. Try to find the tiny round pollen grains clinging to their surface. Avoid contact with pollen, especially if you already suffer from hay fever. 4 Remove the slide from the microscope and tap the anthers onto the slide. Some pollen should drop onto the slide. If not, try using the paint brush to transfer the pollen from the anther to the slide. 5 Add one drop of water and cover with a cover slip. 6 Replace the slide on the microscope, and focus on the pollen grains under low power. 7 Twist the objective lens to medium power and focus again.
Results Draw the pollen grains that you can see. You may need to look on high power to see what the pollen grains look like on their surface.

Plan and predict 1 Write a plan for the investigation using some or all of the equipment above. When you think about your method, you need to consider: l The other variables you need to control (e.g. temperature) l How many pollen grains you need to look at to give you a reliable result l How you are going to record your results
2
Predict what you think the result will be. Before you begin any practical work, your plan must be checked by a teacher.
Analyse 1 Plot a graph of your results with concentration along the x-axis (the one which goes across) and number of germinated pollen grains on the y-axis (the one which goes up). Draw a line through the points. 2 As sugar concentration increases, does the number of germinating pollen grains increase? Evaluate Compare your graph to those obtained by other groups. Are your graphs identical? If they are not, try to explain why. Answering the following questions will help get you started. l Are all pollen grains identical? l Were all anthers from the same flower? l Was it easy to see if pollen grains had germinated? l Did any results seem out of place?

Is a virus a cell?
Viruses can only be seen with an electron microscope. They are between 30 and 300 millionths of a millimetre long. The outermost layer of a virus is made of protein. Inside, they do not have a nucleus or cytoplasm. Instead, they contain a chemical called DNA. These chemicals are usually found in the nucleus of a cell, and contain the instructions needed to run the cell. When a virus wants to reproduce it does not divide. Instead, it injects its DNA into the cell of a plant or animal. The virus DNA copies itself lots of times, and uses the cell to make lots of new protein coats to surround its new DNA. After millions of new viruses have been made in this way, the cell bursts open.

I can do this very well I know the names of the main organs in a plant and in a human I know where these organs are in a plant and a human I know the function (job) of these organs I know how to use a microscope correctly I know how to make good drawings from a microscope observation I know what cells are and can describe the parts of a cell I can describe how microscopes helped early scientists I can explain differences between animal and plant cells I can describe what animal and plant cells have in common I know that there are different types of cell and I know what specialised means I know the difference between cells, tissues and organs I can describe how cells make new cells I can describe how growth occurs I can describe the difference between pollination and fertilisation in flowing plants I know what pollen is and what an ovule is I can collect data and draw a graph of the data I can explain what a graph shows I can evaluate a graph I can do this quite well I need to do more work on this

Glossary
anther cell division cell membrane part of a flower which makes pollen cells the way in which new cells are made holds the cytoplasm together and controls what goes into and out of the cell stops the cell changing shape, collapsing or bursting the building blocks of animals and plants the place in the cells where chlorophyll is found place this over your specimen when you examine it under the microscope the place where chemical reactions happen in a cell fertilisation focus grow growth heart lenses when the male and female gametes join together to make a microscope image more clear increase in size an increase in size the organ which pumps blood the part of the microscope which makes a specimen look bigger something showing all of life's characteristics how much bigger an image is than the object used to examine very small living organisms when a living thing, or part of a living thing, goes from one place to another carries messages around the human body

Unit A Cells
nucleus nutrition organ controls what happens inside a cell the process of making, getting and using food a structure in a plant or animal which has a special function and is made up of tissues a living thing make egg cells in humans and plants the tissue inside a leaf which makes food the male gamete in plant cells the transfer of a pollen grain from the anther of one plant to the stigma of another carries oxygen around the body make new living things absorbs water from the soil stomach tissue slide the piece of glass upon which you place your microscope specimen see adapted the name for anything you look at using a microscope cell the male gamete in humans the liquid you can add to a specimen to make it easier to see using a microscope the part of a flower which makes pollen in its anthers the part of a flower where pollen grains must land for pollination to happen the organ which processes your food a group of similar cells which work together to do the same job contains the cell sap (a store of water, salt and sugar)
