Teaching ScienceIdeas and help for trainee Science teachers

Reposting this article from a while back here’s an idea for something to do with a digital microscope.

Ask the children to use the microscope to take a range of pictures of different objects and put them into a presentation. They can then share their presentations for the rest of the class to guess “what is it?”

I’ve presented the images here using a website called PhotoPeach. But you could use powerpoint, prezi or other presentation packages.

I made two presentations – the first presentation shows the images – you could show it to your class first for them to guess what the different things are.

What is it??? on PhotoPeach

I then made a second presentation with the same images, with the answers added as captions.

What is it? – The Answers on PhotoPeach

The microscope I used is the Easiscope, from TTS which gives pretty good images considering its price. It’s not good for looking at cells etc, but for simple uses it’s great.

Enjoy!

Based on the ICT day the other week here’s a different way to present the images taken with a digi microscope using a website called PhotoPeach.
