What types of specimens were you able to view under each of the microscopes in the microscope activity? How did the specimen views differ?

"I did not view any specimens recently." and "I do not know what YOU viewed either." :P you could be more clearer in asking the questions.

An electron microscope is very powerful and allows you to see very tiny, thin specimens. The question makes it seem that you looked through both types of microscopes at specific samples? As for how they would differ, a light microscope's level of magnification is limited by the physical characteristics of light and therefore can only see objects as small as organelles inside of a cell. A scanning electron microscope, however, does not use light, it uses a beam of electrons to visualize the sample. Electrons are much smaller than the light beam and are able to image much smaller objects, such as molecules and atoms.
