K-12 instruction in biology has traditionally taken a very descriptive approach. This is in marked contrast to quantitative as well as qualitative way of looking at things in physics and chemistry. This qualitative/descriptive approach even extends into the iaboratory portion of the biological course. One way to introduce a more quantitative approach is in the microscopy portion of the biology curriculum. Because cellular structure is primarily a microscopic province It makes sense to introduce students to the different microscopic tools such as TEM and SEM, as well as the light microscope that are used to investigate cell structure.
