Cambridge IGCSE Biology 0610 · 2026–2028 v3 · Original learning materials.

The structure and functions of plant, animal and bacterial cells (2.1.1–2.1.4) through a microscope practical: preparing an onion-skin slide, focusing from low to high power, and comparing cheek cells and a pondweed leaf. Part 2 covers cell division, specialised cells and levels of organisation (2.1.5–2.1.7); part 3 magnification and units (2.2.1–2.2.3).

Apparatus, amounts and times in the experiment are illustrative. Real practical work follows a teacher-approved safety method.
