Skills:
1.1.S1: Use of a light microscope to investigate the structure of cells and tissues, with drawing of cells. -[ Scale bars are useful as a way of indicating actual sizes in drawings and micrographs.]
1.1.S2: Drawing of cell structures as seen with the light microscope. Demonstrate how to draw cell structures seen with a microscope using sharp, carefully joined lines and straight edge lines for labels.
