My Project

Kids are naturally curious about nature. My students are no exception. By using microscopes they can look at leaves, flowers, and even tiny bugs up close and personal. This will help them understand more about how living things work and grow. When they encounter images that they have never seen before, they will become even more curious and help them engage in the learning. Plants and animals need to be valued and protected. I'd like to ignite curiosity in kids about nature and inspire them to become passionate protectors of the environment.
