My Project

Next year my school will be building a brand new STEM Lab for 4th and 5th graders. The STEM Lab will allow students to explore many different scientific concepts.

All children have a desire to know how every thing works, which is why I am asking for microscopes.

We always talk about what we are able to see with the naked eye and it's hard for children to grasp that. With these microscopes, it will be a bit easier for children to understand this. These microscopes will also show students how cells and other microscopic organisms work and function.
