Microscopes for Future Scientists

Help me give my students the opportunity to explore the natural world. Microscopes are important for student engagement because they provide an alternative to book learning, rote memorization, and other passive forms of learning

My Project

Ever since I started my dream job of giving back to my people, and my local community, I always emphasize on science. Currently into my 4th year of teaching 7th Grade Science, and I am hoping that Donorchoose will help my students on getting 6 microscopes. The Middle school has never used or seen a microscope. As I used microscopes in my education as a pre-grad student, I think that microscopes are crucial for learning in middle school because they allow students to observe and study microscopic organisms and structures that are not visible to the naked eye.

Being on the Navajo Nation and growing up is a struggle, I want the best for my students and I do think that microscopes will be the key factor on getting my students to become future scientists and may follow my footsteps on being a educator or to study the science world!
