A biological microscope simulation resource for GCSE and A Level.

Features

  • Bioscope has been developed by Cambridge Assessment (UCLES) and the University of Derby Centre for Interactive Assessment Development.
  • Contains 56 microscope slides of plant and animal specimens suitable for GCSE, IGCSE, O Level, AS and A Level. It also contains 56 paper-based tasks (in word and pDF format) of 20 minutes to 2 hours duration to accompany the slides.
  • This versatile software gives you the ability to search for slides or tasks using key words and includes microscope features such as a graticule and stage scale. It can be used for whole class teaching via a whiteboard or data projector, or by individual students on pCs ensuring all students are using the same slide.
  • Biology students can use these tasks to practice their observation skills, and develop and improve their practical skills such as focusing, stage movement and measurement. The tasks also reinforce the learning of key concepts and help integrate practical work with learning.
