Digital Microscopes in PreK
Pre-K students are observing nature in a new way! By using digital microscopes, the students were able to get a "zoomed in" view of acorns, seeds, feathers, bark, various dead insects, frogs, and lizards. They soon learned that they could also take a picture of their specimen. It is the center of choice. Now when the children go outside they are looking for bits of nature to bring back to the science center. Listening to the conversations in the center can be very reveling..."Look, black, white, black, white (looking at a feather)." "I see the bugs eyes." "What is that green stuff (looking at bark)?"
