Starch grains from different types of plant differ in size and shape. Some starch grains have rings on their surfaces. You will now observe and draw starch grains from one type of plant. 1. Put one clean and dry microscope slide onto a paper towel. 2. Using a pipette, put a few drops of S onto the slide. S is a suspension of starch grains. 3. Cover the drops of S on the slide with a coverslip and use a paper towel to remove any excess suspension. 4. Use the microscope to find and observe the starch grains on the slide. You may need to reduce the amount of light entering the microscope and adjust the fine focus to observe the starch grains clearly. 5. Select, from a single field of view, four starch grains that show different sizes and features.
