Level Assessed Task
Introduction
Jane picked up a microscope to use but found that the last person to use
it had left their slide. She looked down the microscope at the slide and was
puzzled by what she saw and would like to find out more about it. Jane noticed
that something on the slide was moving. This is a diagram of what she saw.
