My Project

I plan to use the supplies to show my students the microscopic world around them.

I plan to use the test paper to show the acid-base levels of substances but to do this I will show them how to weigh out each ingredient that is to be tested.

I will use the agar to have the students grow their own bacteria which we will get from either their mouth or their hands. I will also use the glo-germ to prove to them proper methods of cleaning their hands.

I love to see their faces light up when they see objects under the microscope lens.

Everyday is new and exciting in the world of science.

Nothing better than to hear them talking about what they have learned in class. Once they master the ability to focus a microscope everything just falls right in to place and the world becomes a more fascinating place. Everything needs to be observed under a magnifying glass or microscope to my students.
