Exploring the World Around Us by Digital Microscope

Help me give my students a digital microscope that they can use to explore the world around them. It will allow us to be able to display what we are looking at onto a big screen.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

We are a Title I school located near the Southern Texas border with Mexico. Our students are at risk with 100% free breakfast and lunch. Many of our students are Hispanic and do not speak English at home.

My students are full of science questions!

They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging activities that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions!

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning science, but don't have the resources to always do all they are capable of in the classroom.

My Project

The digital microscope will make it possible to display those exciting things my students want to explore. We can use it to explore life cycles of plants, animals, and insects. We can also use the digital microscope to see many small things that my students can not see with a hand lens.

With the digital microscope, I will be able to display a meal worm, a pupa, and a beetle onto a big screen for the whole class or a small group of students to see together instead of having to use a hand lens.

The digital microscope can also help us communicate our findings through 21st century technology. It can take pictures and video of what we are learning to include in their projects and presentations.

You can make a difference to my students.
