( Genomics ) Checking our Cheek Cells through Microscopes.

Genomics Microscopic Cheek Cells

Today in the early afternoon Room 5 home class got the opportunity to look at our own cheek cells. 

Firstly , We all got into pairs my buddie was Lepisi, we all got given a Popsicle stick each. We had use them and rub them on the inside of our cheeks. Mrs Ilaoa also put on some solution on our slides.

Secondly, After gathering up all our Cheek cells we then put it on a slide and decided who was going to put their cheek cells near the white side and who was going to put it near the further est side. 

Thirdly, We waited for it to set and dry. ... while we were waiting Mrs Ilaoa then said we have 2 choices either to do Maths Whizz or Finish our work of. finally the Cheek cells were dry and then Mrs Ilaoa helped us put on the slides into a microscope and then we got to look through the microscope and actually see what my own Cheek cells look like!!!

Overall, This was very exciting and I enjoyed it. I also turned out to be a bit creeped out by looking at I and Lepisi Cheek Cells!!!
