El microscopio

1. El microscopio es un invento maravilloso que nos permite el mundo microscópico, lo que nuestros ojos no pueden ver. Escribe el
nombre de las partes del microscopio
2. Guerreros invisibles, una aventura microscópica es un relato para chicos que trata temas de grandes. No porque los
microorganismos afecten sólo a los grandes, sino porque el mundo microscópico es un universo muy complejo y, por lo tanto, muy difícil
de explicar a niños en edad escolar.

Veamos primero la estructura del texto y la temática abordada en cada capítulo, completa con las ideas más importantes de cada
capitulo

Capítulo 1: “Lucas a través del microscopio”

Capítulo 2: “Comienza la aventura”

Capítulo 3: “La guerra bacteriana”

Capítulo 4: “Un mundo muy variado”

Bonus: “Una bacteria supervillana” y “La

temible historia del microorganismo invasor”
