Milestones
2 planned deliverables · 0 complete
Our science teacher brings in pond water every spring, and the line to look through the one working microscope takes the whole lesson. This request buys twelve sturdy student microscopes, prepared slides and blank slides so students can make their own. The microscopes are built for classrooms and should last more than a decade.
