My students need 4 microscopes and 20 magnifiers for scientific exploration during our science labs. Microscopes and magnifying glasses will prove that "seeing is believing"!
Have you ever wondered what was just below the surface but just could not strain your eyes to see? Were you frustrated by your unfed curiosity and lack of resources?
My students are all identified as gifted and talented in language arts and science.
They come from a rural community in Ohio that does not always have the resources to provide the most in depth science experiences and as a result our science scores drop yearly! My students have been exploring various areas of dissection and nature but can't quite "see" below the surface. All too often my students lose motivation for learning when their curiosity is squelched by the lack of resources.
My Project
With microscopes and magnifying glasses, my students will see a world of difference in their science labs. My students will be exploring creeks, rivers, and streams near our school for algae, animals and testing the water. Dissections of specimen including owl pellets, worms, and crayfish will be more closely examined.
The magnifying glasses and microscopes will give my students the opportunity to take an in depth look at anything and everything in our environment to feed their curiosity and build a lasting love for learning science.
