Apparatus for field work:<br />
• Beating tray (‘homemade’)<br />
• Pooter (‘homemade’)<br />
• Sweeping net (muslin)<br />
• Plankton net and dip net (if aquatic environment is being sampled)<br />
• Pitfall trap/jam jar; suitable cover to prevent water entry<br />
• Trays for hand sorting<br />
• Frame quadrats, open or gridded<br />
• Tape measures<br />
Slides:<br />
For AS Level<br />
• Mitosis<br />
• TS stem, TS root and TS leaf of, for example, dicotyledonous mesophyte (such as Ligustrum or Prunus<br />
or local equivalent), maize, rice, sorghum, wheat, xerophyte leaves<br />
• LS stem, LS root to show xylem vessel elements and sieve tube elements and companion cells<br />
• TS trachea, TS bronchus, TS bronchioles<br />
• TS lungs to show alveoli<br />
• TS artery, TS vein<br />
• Blood smear<br />
• Animal and plant cells; Protoctists (e.g. Amoeba, Euglena or local equivalents, for example from a culture<br />
made with water and hay to stimulate single cell organisms)<br />
For A Level<br />
• Meiosis<br />
• TS anther, TS ovule<br />
• Pollen<br />
• VS maize fruit<br />
• TS kidney<br />
• TS spinal cord<br />
• Examples of organisms representing the three kingdoms; Protoctista (e.g. Amoeba, Euglena or locally<br />
available equivalents); Prokaryotae (e.g. bacterial smear, cyanobacteria); Fungi (e.g. yeast, Penicillium)<br />
