Exploring Nature with Digital Microscopes

Our 3rd graders are taking "Before & After" photos with their Chromebooks.  With each specimen, first they take a photo holding it up to their Chromebook's camera. Next, they take a photo with the same specimen magnified 200x using a digital microscope. Lastly, students write descriptive sentences about what they observed.
