Middle School Scientists Explore SmartMicroscopes!

Sixth-grade scientists went outside and collected leaves to examine under our brand-new SmartMicroscopes!

Students used the microscopes to practice the Scientific Method. The microscopes connect to Chromebooks and transmit live images to the student’s screen. They also have the ability to take pictures and videos! These microscopes are an exciting new tool indeed!
