My Project

Learning science hands-on with experiments and microscopes is important because it helps students understand complex concepts through direct experience. Instead of just reading or memorizing facts, students get to see how science works in real life. Experiments encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Using microscopes allows students to explore the hidden world of cells, bacteria, and tiny organisms, making science feel real and exciting. This type of learning also helps students remember information better and can inspire a deeper interest in science and how the world works. My goal is to use these items in my rotations.
