ahancock Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 My mother is getting my kids a microscope for Christmas, and I am trying to figure out what to do with it!! Does anyone know of an easy lesson plan/book/curriculum that would give me some guidance as to cool activities to do with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junepep Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Bumping this for you. Our local library has some great books about microscope activities -- most of the books are literally called Experimenting with / Fun With / Activities with / Looking through / the World of / etc a Microscope. So if you search your local catalog for Keyword: Microscope -- you'll certainly get a lot of pings, take them all out and if you love one or two, why not pick it up as a supplemental christmas gift? (alternatively you can probably do something similar on Amazon, but I usually get lost there, hours go by, I finally look up at like midnight and my family wonders why I'm so tired the next day... ;)) For now, we just find things around the house to look at with our little kiddie one, but my kids are still really young and don't have the fine motor skills for dealing with slide-work yet.
