My Project

The use of microscopes is a daily necessity during our biology unit. The students are entranced with the microscopic world and love to explore more. This microscope will allow students to see at a greater magnification with a clear image. I will also be able to attach my phone to project the microscopic world larger for the class.

Students will use the digital scales to explore the difference between mass and weight, solve for density, and to have more accurate labs.

All of these supplies will be used for multiple grade levels and science content.
