My Students

My students come to science class from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. Regardless of prior knowledge, they are always amazed by the details of the world around us. My students need more hands-on, practical science experience that will help them believe they can do science.

My Project

Have you ever heard "a picture's worth a thousand words"? This applies to both the teaching and learning sides of education. Without this camera, students find it nearly impossible to document the view through the microscope. Students take more ownership and have a sense of pride about a lab if they capture a photo of what they have seen under the microscope.

Learning how to focus a microscope is also easier if you can watch the entire process.

A camera like this will also allow the entire class to see what I am seeing as I teach and demonstrate with the microscope.
