Help me give my students digital microscopes for viewing the invisible world around us!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My class is in a Title I school in Northern Las Vegas with a high percentage of English language learners. They are eager to learn, however, they can struggle with scientific terminology and conceptual learning.
To improve their learning experience, my students need differentiated lessons, visuals, and direct involvement.
Now that we have returned to face-to-face learning, I need to make my classroom an exciting place for students to learn in! We need vital equipment to engage, excite, and motivate the students in our classrooms!
My Project
Students in my classroom want something REAL! They are tired of at-home virtual learning. What they need is hands-on lab activities doing what a real biologist would do!
Help me provide them with lab experiences that make them feel like real scientists!
With these digital microscopes, my students will be able to view living cells from ponds, conduct experiments on osmosis, view the structure of leaves to learn about photosynthesis, see DNA dividing in living cells, and much more! These scopes will be used by students all year to learn about the living world.
Standard these experiments will address are:
HS-LS1-2. Develop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting systems that provide specific functions within multicellular organisms.
HS-LS3-1. Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and chromosomes in coding the instructions for characteristic traits passed from parents to offspring.
HS-LS1-4. Use a model to illustrate the role of cellular division (mitosis) and
differentiation in producing and maintaining complex organisms.
HS-LS2-3. Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for the cycling of matter and flow of energy in aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
HS-LS1-3. Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence those feedback mechanisms maintain homeostasis.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
