My sister called, she's looked everywhere, and can't seem to find any information for her dd's class project, I told her I'd ask you all.

My 10 year old niece has to make a model microscope, explaining all the parts, it doesn't have to be a working microscope, and can be made of recyclable materials.

I hope someone here can help.
Thanks

Here is a link with information about the parts of a microscope. It identifies the parts and explains what they do. Is this something like what you are looking for? http://www.microscope-microscope.org...cope-parts.htm

This site looks good for the information part, but she still needs directions on how to build one.

Thank you, I'll email this to my sister.

is the first one that comes up on google and to it's credit it does describe all the pieces but it seems a bit more than a 10 year old would want to put together...


I'll keep looking,

I also found this one, it looks more like what her Dad would have to make for her. LOL ! It's easier to find out how to make a homemade bomb.

Well my Little Dictator is waking up from her nap ( this is my day to babysit ). I'll check back later.

Thank you

This one looks like a reasonable project. Hope it helps.
