I teach very promising young scientists that lack the tools to explore their scientific inquiry.

Students are desperate to explore the microscopic world, but all I have are magnifying glasses to offer them. They are extremely frustrated at this point with the lack of tools available to them to answer their questions.

The microscopes that would be purchased can be used at inquiry stations and small group work. I also plan to pull students at lunch to provide extra time for them to explore using the microscope.

You help will ensure that my students get answers to their inquiry questions and provide them with the experience needed for their future science classes.
