Goal

I would like to use Zoomies at all grade levels to help teach about science tools and improve observation skills.  

 

What will be done with my students

Zoomies are digital microscopes that are so easy to use that even Kindergartners can use them by themselves. They plug into a computer and you hold the zoomy up to any object and it will project the 43x magnified image onto the computer screen. Many grade levels have science standards to learn about magnifiers but microscopes can be very difficult for small children to use. Zoomies make it easy to magnify and observe almost any object! Students will use this to look at many objects and make observations that they can sketch in their science notebooks. We will use them to look at leaves and vegetables from our school garden and our caterpillars as they turn into butterflies. 4th and 5th graders will use them to more closely observe their science fair project results.  

 

Benefits to my students

All students at our school will benefit from having the Zoomies by being able to learn about magnifiers in a more hands on and accessible way. They will also be able to make observations about many of their science labs more easily by using the Zoomies.  

 

Budget Narrative

4 Zoomies costing $39.99 each
