Computer Microscope USB, $69.95, 0.00% raised
Computer Microscope USB Rank:
Single Unit Why I need this:
First graders look at millipedes, pill bugs, guppies, crystals growing, and their tiny fingers with excitement and astonishment. A microscope connected to the computer will enhance science learning and engagement significantly. Students can take pictures with the microscope, print the pictures, and write about their findings, which ties the science curriculum with the language arts curriculum. Students also learn about measurement when using the microscope, which bridges math into the science lessons. This microscope will be shared frequently with the other first grade classes to establish community of future scientists at our school. Bugs beware! We will see you soon!
Quantity: 1 Price: $69.95
This USB Microscope allows for real-time display on computer screens, enabling multiple students to view detail at the same time.

Why Do I Teach?:
1. My core belief is that you should help others. Teaching allows me to help children by iNsPiRiNg, encouraging, and continuing this vital cycle. 2. FOR THE KIDS.
