My Project

As a dedicated educator, I strive to provide my students with engaging, hands-on science experiences that bring learning to life. To deepen their understanding of biology and develop essential scientific skills, I am requesting a complete microscope lab set for my classroom.

This set includes two high-quality compound microscopes, prepared microscope slides featuring animals, insects, plants, and flowers, as well as standard blank slides for student use.

Additionally, a lab skills poster will guide students step-by-step on how to properly use a microscope, helping build their confidence and competence in scientific observation.

By having access to these materials, students will explore the microscopic world firsthand, sparking curiosity and enhancing their critical thinking. They will learn how to prepare slides, observe specimens, and record their findings—core skills that are fundamental to scientific inquiry.

Your support will empower my students to move beyond textbook science and experience discovery through active investigation. Thank you for helping nurture the next generation of scientists and curious minds!
