Second graders are fascinated by small things. Using these microscopes would allow students to explore the artistic work of engraving on coins (2.MD.C.8). They can examine microprocessors (2-PS1-3). During second grade students are taught how details or evidence contribute to the whole story or main idea (RL.2.1 & RI.2.1) .
These microscopes will illuminate and magnify the smallest details of the world and expand their sense of wonder in science. Students can compare composition of leaves from plants grown with and without sunlight (2-LS2-1 and W.2.7 & W.2.8). They will also practice classifying different material by their observable properties (2-PS1-1). For example they can get a close up view of rocks and bugs. Looking into the small world can be a segue for discussion about germs, and viruses.
