Learning With Microscopes

Funded Jul 5, 2013

I want to take the time to thank everyone for supporting my class and our microscope project. When the microscopes arrived my students were so excited. They couldn't wait to start using them. Since then we have looked at plant cells, cheek cells and animal cells.

We made a learning station so that the microscopes can be used anytime during the day. My students are learning to compare and document their scientific finds in their science journals.

I can't tell you how much these microscopes have helped me achieve my teaching goals for my students. Through these kinds of activities student will grow and develop their critical thinking skills and be ready for the Common Core Standards Assessment.”

With gratitude,
