There is so much for us to explore, and they've just had a small preview. So far, we've been able to view different cells, tissues, and bacteria. Many of my students had never used a microscope, so it was a thrilling experience!\r\n\r\nWe are looking forward to exploring nature through our microscope, which fits in perfectly with our curriculum of Ecosystems. We will also continue to explore different human cells in correlation to our Human Body Systems/Genetics/Cells unit. Some students have even requested to use it during our indoor recess on rainy days!\r\n\r\nHaving this tool in my classroom is really special because it is giving them a sneak-peek into middle school opportunities. It may have even sparked interest in a future career. I can't thank you enough for your generosity.

Students have been excited to learn how to use the design studio, and the 3D printers with help from an older student/teacher.
