The digital microscope is a great tool to use in the classroom. It allows the teacher to capture video or pictures of an object as it is being observed. A digital microscope is a great tool because it allows every student to have a front row seat to what's being viewed under the microscope without needing a microscope for every student! You can take pictures of every slide to provide examples of each stage of the experiment. This is an example of an experiment that was done using the digital microscope.
Comparing Sugar and Salt and How They Dissolve
This experiment is designed for a 4th grade science class that is learning about rocks and minerals. It could also be used as a demonstration of physical change.
1. We predicted what we thought the salt would look like under the microscope.
2. We predicted what the sugar would look like under the microscope.
3. We predicted whether the salt or the sugar would dissolve first when mixed with water.
4. We observed salt under the microscope.

4. We observed salt under the microscope.
5.We observed sugar under the microscope.
6. We noted the difference between the sugar and salt crystals
7. We added warm water to the salt and observed it dissolving.
7. We added warm water to the salt and observed it dissolving.
8.We added warm water to the sugar and observed it dissolving.
9. We compared the difference in how fast the salt dissolved and how fast the sugar dissolved.
10. We looked at our predictions and compared it to our observations.
You wouldn't think that comparing salt and sugar would be a very exciting science lesson but with the aid of technology it becomes an engaging lesson that students will be sad to finish!
What a neat experiment! It was fun at the end seeing the videos of the salt and sugar dissolve. I liked watching them at the same time to see how they were different. This is a really neat technology, and it made me want to have a digital microscope in my classroom.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! thanks for going the extra mile with including a video. this was a great project!
