Microscope Mission

Help me give my students microscopes and slides to study the world around them.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Waldrop's classroom raised $617

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are inquisitive, engaged learners who seek to learn more about the world around them - whether learning in the classroom, as they travel, or in the great outdoors.

Regardless of location or circumstance, we are lifelong learners who support one another through our endeavors.

My Project

These microscopes will enable students to take charge of their own scientific research. Students will use the tools in the classroom, outside, and potentially at home if current conditions require that.

Through earth science, physical science, and life science lessons, students will hone their research and writing skills to prove that they are already scientists.

By having their own assigned microscopes, students will have the tools they need. They will know that they are in charge of their learning. They will see that their questions and studies can take them where they want to go!
