Scientific Drawing

Thursday in class we learned how to make a scientific drawing.

These are the basic rules of scientific drawings that you must apply during the microscope lab on Friday and Monday:

-use pencil, but do as little erasing as possible

-always print

-write the title in all capitals above the circle for image

-draw the image to scale; it should be the same size as you see it under the microscope

-label the image by drawing lines straight across to the side; no crisscrossing lines, arrows, curving lines and by using the singular form of the word


- write the name underneath; if you know the scientific name- underline it and capitilize the first word for example, our species would be written as Homo sapiens and fruit flies would be Drosophilia melangaster


-write your name under the scientific name

- write the total magnification underneath your name
