My Project

Students in 6th-grade science are loving our dive into the microscopic world of cells and pond water. Not only is it fascinating but, it is also a great way to build the science skills so necessary in today's world.

Half of the fun is exploring this world together.

It can be so exciting to see a new or rare organism. The digital features of this microscope will allow us to explore this world more regularly as a class and help to make the demonstration a more integral part of the teaching in our cells and natural selection units.

The breadboards are an addition to supplement at maker space project at the same middle school. These will be used in Arduino coding and maker projects in both science and engineering technology classes.
