This week, we go deeper into what cells do. You’ll find out how your body knows what to build, when to grow, and how to repair itself, and it’s all hidden inside your DNA.

This week, you will explore how scientists can study cells in detail using microscopes. You’ll discover the differences between light microscopes, which use lenses and visible light, and electron microscopes, which use beams of electrons to reveal far greater detail. You will also learn how to use the magnification formula to calculate the actual size of tiny structures, and why improvements in microscope technology have been so important for advancing our understanding of bi

These basic concepts are essential for more complex concepts later on, so spend the time practising them. However, if you are arriving here having not studied maths before, do not worry, I am starting from scratch, and you will get plenty of practice time

You’ll learn the difference between the two main types of cells — eukaryotic cells (animal and plant cells, which contain a nucleus and specialised organelles) and prokaryotic cells (bacteria, which are smaller and simpler, with DNA free in the cytoplasm). You’ll explore the structures that cells share, as well as the unique features found only in plants or bacteria, and begin to understand how these tiny
