Class experience

US Grade 8 - 11
- Learn how to create slides using different methods and techniques.
- Just curious to try making slides and applying newly learned techniques
- Connect with other microscope enthusiasts and make new friends who share your interest. 
I have taught in-person Biology labs that frequently used microscopes and slides made in lab. Incorporating technology allows students to aim to support your student in building confidence and practical skills through guidance in their studies. Although books have their uses, nothing compares to the benefits of hands-on learning and witnessing the marvels of Biology. My love for Biology stems from its deceptive simplicity, which upon deeper examination reveals a truly astounding complexity.

My area of study is Biology, and I hold a Bachelor of Science degree where I learned about mammalogy, ornithology, ecology, marine biology, microbiology, histology, and aquatic invertebrates. In my co-op lab classes, I gained hands-on experience with microscopes and learned how to create slides rather than just viewing prepared ones. I am now providing microscope classes through Outschool, where students are encouraged to use their compound or digital microscopes during open lab time. I utilize digital cameras to share my own microscope view,  as well as encourage students' to share their microscope view. While I value traditional lab techniques, I also believe that technology can enhance the lab experience when appropriate. see more clearly what they are looking for and share what they are seeing, allowing for an enhanced lab experience.

Personally I am an ever curious Biologist - I've studies mammalogy, marine biology, ornithology, microbiology, and more. In my classroom I encourage my students to explore and follow there curiosity, ask questions and find answers. I enjoy incorporating traditional learning with technology, helping students gain a deeper understanding material in practical ways. 
Compound Microscope or digital microscope

*Additional supplies will be listed on class page at the start of the week.
Your student can join a club that offers the chance to enhance their skills by looking at specimens and slides with a compound or digital microscope. Please note that your student will need a working microscope in order to participate. I can help your learner troubleshoot if needed during open lab time. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Videos will be shared based on student interest and questions.
