Slide Set - Plant Anatomy Basic - Set of 20

The Zoology Basic Microscope Slide Set offers a comprehensive introduction to animal biology through 25 expertly prepared slides. This collection spans simple unicellular organisms to complex vertebrate structures, providing students with a broad understanding of anatomical organisation, reproduction, development, and diversity across the animal kingdom. Specimens include Amoeba, Paramecium, Hydra, Taenia, Ascaris, Rana (frog), Dogfish skin, and Rabbit embryo tissue. Carefully curated to align with zoology and biology curricula, this set enables students to explore structure-function relationships, histology, and comparative anatomy using real biological samples.

Educational Benefits:

• Supports foundational knowledge in zoology, physiology, and developmental biology.
• Enhances microscopy skills and confidence in slide observation and interpretation.
• Encourages understanding of animal diversity and evolutionary relationships.
• Reinforces practical lab skills including identification, classification, and analysis.

Classroom Application Ideas:

• Compare body structures of invertebrates and vertebrates under the microscope.
• Use in developmental biology units to study embryonic stages and organ development.
• Integrate into lessons on reproduction, parasitology, or sensory systems.
• Encourage sketching and labelling activities to strengthen observation and recording skills.
