High Powered Microscopes for Young Scientists

Help me give my students high quality microscopes and slide preparation kits to study life science.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Werner's classroom raised $737

This project is fully funded

My Project

I have several students very interested in science and exploring the world with a microscope. Due to COVID-19, these 8th graders have had very little hands-on experience with science specifically with microscopes. I currently have one microscope in my classroom and it's pretty basic. They have been creating slides and looking at things under this microscope and have been fascinated. With a stronger microscope and digital capacity, these young scientists will be looking at life and creating their own slides of their cells, plant cells, and getting a look at some Planarian.
