NittanyJen Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I know this is not exactly rocket science, and kids have been making this slide since before my grandmother was even an idea, but the biologist in me was very proud of DS11's first slide (we've been HS for about two years, and this is our first go-round with biology) It is ye olde onione skine stained with eosin. Nothing fancy in the image-- just my digital point and shoot jammed up against the eyepiece and handheld, trying not to get too bad of a glare from the slide.

I would argue that the same holds true for "ye olde onione skine stained with eosin" ;) Edited October 21, 2012 by Hilltop Academy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen in CO Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 :hurray: The first slide is really cool. We were really proud of my dd's first slide too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukriyya Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 How exciting since biology is your field. And I love the quote that Hilltop Academy posted. This is such a great board when a mama can get excited over her child's first onion skin on a slide and we all respond in kind :D Only on TWTM!

NittanyJen Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Thanks for "getting it," ladies! One of the benefits I get out of homeschooling is getting to see the world through their eyes on a regular basis :). Every time they observe something new like a Euglena, or make a connection such as noticing that Cabot used the similar recruiting tactics for colonists to Canada that Ericksson used, or somebody masters factoring polynomials, you just can't help but see the world as new again.

And the slide is great, too. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
