    1. The document describes a lab where students observe onion and cheek cells under a microscope. They peel onion skin and scrape cheek cells to place on slides, then add stains to help view cell structures. 2. Under the microscope, students draw and label onion cells showing the cell wall, nucleus, and cytoplasm. They also draw and label cheek cells showing the cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm. 3. Students complete a chart comparing plant and animal cell organelles and answer questions about how cells are like bricks, differences between plant and animal cells, and parts of all cells.

    Plant and Animal Cells Microscope Lab

    Objectives:
    Students will discover that onions are made up of cells.
    Students will observe onion cells under a microscope.
    Students will discover that their skin is made up of cells.
    Students will observe cheek cells under a microscope.

    Materials:
    Microscope, two glass slides, iodine stain, methylene blue stain, two cover
    slips, an onion, and a toothpick

    Procedures:
    Onion cells
    1. Peel a translucent piece of tissue from the onion. (The smaller the piece
    the better.) Translucent means that you can see light through the
    specimen, but it is not transparent.

    2. Place the piece of onion on a glass slide and add a drop or two of the
    iodine solution. Cover the slide with a cover slip using your best wet-mount
    making techniques.

    3. Observe the onion cell under both low and high power. Make a drawing
    of one onion cell, labeling all of its parts as you observe them.
    (At minimum you should observe the nucleus, cell wall, and cytoplasm.)

    Cheek cells
    1. to view cheek cells, gently scrape the inside lining of your cheek with a
    toothpick. DO NOT GOUGE THE INSIDE OF YOUR CHEEK! (We will observe
    blood cells in a future lab!!)

    2. Gently tap the toothpick onto 1- 2 drops of water in the center of a glass
    slide. Some of the cheek cells should fall onto the slide.

    3. Add a drop of methylene blue stain (specific for animals) and cover with
    a cover slip.

    4. Observe the cheek cells under both low and high power of your
    microscope. Draw a diagram of one cheek cell and label the parts.
    (You should observe the cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm.)

    Observation:
    The following labeled drawings must be completed.
    Drawings MUST be completed neatly using a pencil/colored pencil.
    1. Onion Cell drawing (high power)
    2. Cheek cell drawing (any power but preferably high)
    Drawings, Conclusions and Questions:

    Onion Cell Labeled: Cheek Cell Labeled:


    Cell Wall, Nucleus, Cytoplasm Cell Memebrane, Nucleus, Cytoplasm

    Complete the following chart: The Cell organelle found in plant, animal, or
    both. (Place an x in the appropriate box)

    1. How are cells similar to


    the bricks of a building?
    2. How are animal cells
    different from plant cells?
    3. What are the three main
    parts of all cells?

    1. Why do we stain specimens?-

    2. Why must the specimen you observe be very thin? -

    3. Onion cells are plants. Therefore, why were there no chloroplasts in


    the onion cells you observed? –
    Label the Animal & Plant Diagrams
