With this combination microscope and biology kit, young scientists will embark on a wondrous guided journey through the microscopic world, revealing its hidden creatures and unseen structures. First, your child will learn how to use the metal and plastic microscope and all of its parts. Next, they'll become familiar with their scope by examining some prepared slides. Now, they're ready to take off on a guided investigation of plant and animal specimens that they gather and prepare themselves. This kit gives kids the tools, knowledge, and skills they need to view virtually any specimen they can find.
