My interest in school is in History and
Government. I am not sure exactly what I want to
study in college, but History is my favorite
subject. I am already looking at colleges, and
am leaning toward University of Southern
California, University of California at Santa
Barbara, or University of Puget Sound. I am
involved in Model United Nations, DECA (marketing
club), debate, and was the Student Council
vice-president last year. I am not running for
Student Council this year because it takes away
from other activities.

A Look At
Jennifer Walters

• Biography

I am a Senior at Grant High School in Portland,
Oregon. I have a younger brother and a younger
sister. I have gone to Grant for one year, having
grown up in Santa Barbara, California. My
hobbies include running and water-skiing. My
favorite thing to do on a weekend is go to the
beach.

Microscope Lab- Notes

• Lab Observation Calculating magnification-the
  power of the objective times the power of the
  ocular. A micrometer or a micron is 1/1000 of
  a mm.
• Lab Evaluation
• 1. The object, once viewed through the
  microscope, was not in the same position that it
  was viewed in with the unaided eye, rather it
  was upside down.
• 2. When we moved the "e" to the right as I viewed
  it, it moved left, and when we moved it left it
  moved right as viewed through the scope, so when
  an object is moved under a microscope it moves
  (visually) opposite of how you move it
  (physically).
• 3. When I move the slide away from me, the "e"
  moves closer to me, as viewed through the scope.
  This is caused by the reflection of the mirror
  that makes a microscope work.
• 4. When magnifying power is high, the field of
  view is smaller and more detailed.
• 5. When the magnifying power is high, the
  position of the image doesn't "move", but the
  field of view becomes smaller and encompasses
  less of the object, but in greater detail.

Microscope Lab- Notes (Continued)
6. The illumination on low power is much less
bright than on high power magnification. 7. The
magnification power of low power is calculated at
40X. 8. The magnification power of high power is
calculated at 400X. 9. The diameter of the
low-power field of view on the microscope is
3mm. 10. The diameter of the low-power field of
view on the microscope is 3000ym. 11. The
diameter of our high-power field of view is
300ym. 12. The height of our letter "e" in
millimeters was 2mm. Lab Conclusion Through
the working of this lab, I have learned the
proper way to carry, set up, and use microscopes
in the lab. I have learned many things about
preparing wet mounts, and the focusing mechanism
of the microscope. I have gained the knowledge
of how to calculate such things as field of view,
the size of a magnified object, and the
magnification powers of different objectives.
This basic knowledge will be helpful and
necessary for completion of other labs and
studies. I have learned everything the lab set
out to teach me.

Description of Assignment- Microscope Lab-
(provided by the teacher)
Lab Purpose The purpose of this lab is to allow
us to become familiar with the microscope. We
attempted to calculate magnification, the size of
a viewed object in microns, and the field of view
in high and low magnifying power. 1. Cut out a
letter from the provided sheet, place it under
the microscope, and describe how it looks through
the microscope as it is moved under it. 2.
Describe the difference between high and low
power on the microscope as it is viewed through
the microscope. 3. What is the
magnification/diameter of the view range under
high and low power. 4. Describe how the
provided magazine swatches look under the
microscope. 5. Write a conclusion summarizing
your findings.

Student Comments

• The thing I liked about this project was that it
  was hands-on. I have gained the knowledge of
  how to calculate such things as field of view,
  the size of a magnified object, and the
  magnification powers of different objectives.
  This basic knowledge will be helpful and
  necessary for completion of other labs and
  studies. I have learned everything the lab set
  out to teach me.

This was very good for a first try I helped

Assessment of Project 1

• Jennifer did a very thorough job with labeling
  the microscope diagram and with the lab notes.
  She did make a couple of mistakes on the labels.
• Overall assessment score 78

century is the implementation of the
