My Project

Microscopes are one of the most important tools used in life science. However, it is always a challenge when there are not enough microscopes and slides to accommodate all of my student lab groups. When working with microscopes, no more than two students per group is effective, because students have to take turns looking through the microscope. I would love to get an additional microscope for my classroom to optimize student participation and learning with smaller lab group sizes.

This donation would help decrease the chaos on lab days because students would not be having to wait as long to look through a microscope.

Having an additional microscope would give students more time and opportunity to use this valuable tool in our class. It will allow students to visualize our class content and gain a deeper level of understanding for life and the biological sciences. These prepared slides will allow students the opportunity to view a variety of items they are interested in seeing to truly experience the power of a microscope.
