Exploring the Microscopic World – Tools for Budding Scientists
Help me give my students essential microscope tools including glass slides, prepared plant and animal slides, lens cleaners, and a user-friendly guide on how to use a microscope.
You should consider donating to this project because it gives students a rare and exciting opportunity to explore the world in a whole new way—through the lens of a microscope.
Many students learn best when they can see and touch what they're studying, and this project provides the tools to do just that.
With high-quality glass slides, plant and animal specimens, and clear instructions, students will gain valuable hands-on experience that deepens their understanding of science. Your donation supports curiosity, inspires future scientists, and brings learning to life right in our classroom.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
