The great baking soda and vinegar experimentįind more great science activities on my Science Activities for Kids page and my Science Activities Pinterest board.More science posts from Gift of Curiosity: Fabric (try different kinds such as denim, wool, polyester, etc.).Spider web (use a microscope slide to collect the web).Wings from an insect (look on your windshield for dead bugs whose wings you can collect) Now, look through the eyepiece and adjust the illuminator (or mirror) and diaphragm (Figure 3, at left) for the greatest amount of light.Colored image from a magazine or newspaper.Here is a list of 30 awesome things kids can look at with a microscope, although what you see will depend on the magnification of your microscope. They had a fabulous time exploring the different objects and describing to me what they saw.
Parents implementing Montessori principles at home will also find wonderful resources through Montessori Services or their partner site, For Small Hands, which specializes in child-size tools and materials for families. They feature a wonderful array of learning materials that complement any early childhood curriculum, Montessori or not.
I have purchased a number of items from Montessori Services in the past and I have always been very happy with the quality of their materials.
I am grateful to Montessori Services for allowing me to use and review this nifty little microscope. The small size and cordless design makes the MicroBrite pocket microscope ideal for viewing objects around the home, classroom, or back yard. This allowed us to view thick and opaque objects that would not be possible to look at under a regular microscope. Unlike our traditional microscope, this microscope does not require objects to be put on a slide to view them (although using slides is still an option).
