My Project

In case you did not know, it can be a challenge for a teacher to find anything that keeps the attention of 8th graders.

My 8th grade Science students have been most enthusiastic about building with clay and viewing items through a micrcoscope.

Let's help them learn and play at the same time.

We used up all of our clay for Habitat on Mars Envisioned project. We need more clay to help these aspiring Renaissance students refine their talents.

We would love students to be able to create digital presentations showing actual photos or videos of material under a microscope. The two microscopes included in this project will facilitate this.
