My Project

I'm a kindergarten through fifth grade inquiry science teacher and I love exploring the scientific world with my students! Digital microscopes been on my teacher bucket list for a while now. A class set of digital microscopes will provide my students with a hands-on learning experience unlike anything they've ever had!

Digital microscopes will allow students to literally zoom in to see fossils, rocks, flowers, insects, and so much more on a microscopic level.

Your support of this project will provide one digital microscope for each table in my classroom, allowing each small group of students a chance to explore science in a new and exciting way!
