Plant Cell Study Kit (512) In Stock Now

This simple, step-by-step lab activity provides a sense of realism and participation that commercially prepared slides or illustrations can't possibly duplicate. Students prepare slides using the pre-cut monocot and dicot plant cross sections and macerated stem tissue. After staining and mounting the samples, students then view their slides through a microscope (not provided, request separately).

Scientific Concepts:

Preparation of slide material with staining and mounting

Develop microscope techniques

Utilize diagrams and dichotomous keys for identification
