Instead of simply reading about cells and microorganisms, they can now view high-resolution images, zoom in on details, and even capture digital snapshots for analysis and comparison. This has helped students make real connections between textbook concepts and living systems — something that's incredibly powerful for visual and kinesthetic learners.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is the ability to see the hidden world that exists all around them. They love discovering the patterns of plant cells, watching pond water teem with life, and comparing samples they collect from different environments. For many of them, it's their first time feeling like real scientists — collecting data, forming hypotheses, and observing living systems firsthand.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has given my students the chance to think, question, and explore like true biologists. Thank you for helping make science come alive in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1756338062146,"projectUrl":"project/how-do-we-learn-biology-without-a-micros/9397572/","projectTitle":"How Do We Learn Biology Without a Microscope?","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sherrill-Strom","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10050410_orig.png?crop=212,212,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749096832058","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10050410"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_52448","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":66,"numTeachers":10,"percentFrplEligible":29,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":90,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"6.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":78.6,"schoolId":52448,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Camas County High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Camas County High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/idaho/camas-county-school-district-121/camas-county-high-school/52448"}
