Magnifying Science

Help me give my students 3 Amscope 1000 magnification microscopes to use for biology.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Small's classroom raised $295

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students need microscopes to use while learning biology. In biology a major focus is on cells, their organelles, and categorizing them. We need the microscopes to be able to view slides of cells to visualize types of cells and their organelles.

Students can learn the cell concepts best if they use a microscope to visualize the cell.

The cell can be such an abstract concept if only taught without the student actually being able to interact with it during a lab. Microscopes will be shared between my class and another teacher's class.
