When you create a photography contest in 7th grade Life Science, it's not going to be a typical photography contest. For CDS students in Mrs. Frey's class, the challenge was for students to show off their microscope skills, including preparing samples, preparing slides, using microscopes or stereoscopes, and photographing. Throughout the school year, 7th graders took photographs through the eyepieces of microscopes or stereoscopes and then were tasked with choosing their best photographs for the contests. Olivia H., a 7th grader, worked with Mrs. Frey to determine the requirements for entries and developed the Google Doc for students to enter their photographs. The requirements for these photographs was clarity and detail, whether looking at stained potato cells, stained frog blood, human hair, or green plants.
