My reflection on microscopes.

Friday 11th May 2018

I have learnt what is a purpose for microscopes its a whole new dimension in science. By using microscopes scientists were able to discover the existence of microorganisms, study the structure of cells, and see the smallest parts of plants, animals, and fungi.

I have learnt how a microscope functions it The eyepiece lens (the one closest to your eye) magnifies the image from the objective lens, rather like a magnifying glass. On some microscopes, you can move the eyepiece up and down by turning a wheel. This gives you fine control or "fine tuning" of the focus. You look down on a magnified image of the object.

Hoi~

My name is Samarah

My first day in papakurahigh was very scary but once i made wonderful friends I grew more out of my shell and loved papakurahigh, I have enjoyed myself here and I'm now making memories....

I reckon that even you can make wonderful friends here too, all you gotta do is just get outta that shell of yours....

I'm very happy about my decision of this school, I have wonderful teachers, great people and awesome places to sit and eat or read.

My goals for this year is to try and draw realistically
and make more great friends, also people are wondering why I draw so much... Well I kinda got it from my dad and he draws like a master and so I want to be like him one day...

but I honestly think that it is kinda hard to reach my goals, but I do get through it ... I've always been thinking about being friends with everyone even if we've been on bad terms.. 

                                                                                       That's me ~>

Thank you for reading~

Have a nice day~
