Taking notes at the creek where we collected samples.
B is taking Biology this year, we are using Apologia's Biology (2nd Edition). She was going to be taking this class in our weekly homeschool CoOp but it's not meeting this year so we are working through the program together at home. A week or so ago she had to collect creek water in various jars. She then had to give them different food sources (egg yolk, rice, hay and soil) and let them sit for ~ 5 days. Afterwards, she made slides to look at what organisms were in each of her jars.

After looking at all of her homemade creek water slides, B looked at various prepared slides as well.
Here you can see our Paramecium slide on lowest power.
Here you see the same slide on the next power.
And the next power - I love all the detail and various stain colors on this slide.
I think B is enjoying this program so far and I am really enjoying experiencing it with her.
