Let's Look Through a Microscope!

My students need a Digital Camera in the Science Classroom to view microscopic organisms.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. S.'s classroom raised $677

This project is fully funded

My Students

Can you imagine how amazed students will be when they are able to view the smallest single-celled living organisms? With a digital microscope, students will be able to view microscopic organisms 4,000X larger than the actual size!

I teach in an urban school district, where supplies for a classroom are of high demand, and the school budget limits what can be purchased for my classroom.

There are 160 students in the seventh grade that I teach on a daily basis. These motivated students deserve a science classroom full of up-to-date technological devices for science.

My Project

It's one thing describing how small a living cell is, but it is another thing using a technological scientific device such as a digital microscope to actually depict the smallest living organisms. Students will be able to use the digital microscope to see organisms 4,000X bigger than their actual size!

Having a digital microscope will allow students to view organisms 4,000X bigger than they actually are!

Students will be able to observe the different parts of cells and identify the importance of cells. Not only will students be using a technological scientific device to see microscopic organisms, but they will be able understand the significance of such small organisms. It is imperative that my students are up to date with the state of the art scientific instruments.
