My Project

We will use these digital microscopes to explore the microbiology world. Providing students with these microscopes will allow them to get up close and see how the micro organisms move as well as explore their anatomy. We will use these microscopes to explore our ponds that we have on campus and identify any living microorganisms that we have in our pond. We will also use these microscopes to explore how cells connect to tissues, tissues to organs and so on in the human body. These students will get to see science in action!
