Science/Math Technology Exploration

In class we were able to use some really interesting tools to better our understanding of what was in the world around us and to measure temperature. I really liked the microscopes that we used in class. It fascinated me that you could hook up a microscope to a computer so that you could take a video or a picture of what was being looked at under the lens. Also, I remember that when I was younger and we used microscopes, they were really big and difficult to use/understand. These microscopes seemed simple. The teacher could just use on if necessary and hook it up to a projector so that the whole class will be able to see what the teacher is talking about or looking for. This would help to cut back on the confusion of what the student is supposed to be doing. Also, these microscopes are not that expensive so that it will be possible to put them into the school budget in order to get enough for the class. This will truly help the students to get more involved and feel more connected with science.
