Edit
I am a Biology teacher for ninth and tenth grade students in Washington, D.C. The demographics of my school consist mostly of African American students of middle to low SES. As a high school Biology teacher in Washington, D.C., I have been exposed to a lack of resources district-wide. My school in particular, though considered a STEM school, does not even have a classroom set of microscopes in the science department. Being a STEM school, the science component of education is stressed greatly, yet we are unable to supply our students with the necessary resources to be able to best understand science content. I realize the possibility of receiving a classroom set of microscopes is very small at this point, so I am determined to share the wonders of the microscopic world with my students by projecting the images from my microscope onto a projection screen. It is my hope that seeing these things in real life will serve to offer true meaning behind the content.
