Help me give my students USB microscopes that can connect to their computers to take video and pictures.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Merlino's classroom raised $312
This project is fully funded
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 Project
These resources will allow students to take pictures and videos using this microscopes that connect to their computers. One of the greatest things students can experience is seeing all the microorganisms that live in pond water. These resources will also allow students to take time lapse videos and explore the microscopic world. We will also explore different pollen from our garden. Our students could also be inspired to pursue careers in the medical field using these resources.
These microscopes will be invaluable in teaching our students biology and exploring microscopy.
More than half of 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
