A very nice binocular microscope.Our topic for our February Science Club meetings is:
Exploring the World with Microscopes

No matter how good our eyesight may be, we still can not see many of the curious amazing things in our world. But by using a microscope, we can explore the wonderful world of the very small.

This month at Science Club, we will be exploring this world.

We will learn all about microscopes: how microscopes work, why we use microscopes, and what we can see and learn from looking through a microscope. We will use a digital microscope to view different objects and talk about what we are seeing.
