My Project

Having access to microscopes and slides prepared with specimens will allow my students the ability to see the world from a different view. We currently do not have any microscopes and it is difficult for them to visualize our microscopic world.

Having access to microscopes and pre made slides that include bacteria, animal and plant cells will be so helpful in my students being able to visualize the concepts that are being taught.

My students work so hard and would benefit greatly from being able to use a microscope to see up close the concepts that they are learning about. Learning about bacteria and cells can be challenging to understand but being able to actually see it helps connect the meaning and the physical features.
