        Oh man, you don’t sound too excited about the microscopes.

        I think they’re a fun idea because you can get a whole class together to watch something be examined and analysed on a big projector screen, find out what school shoes look like on the inside, see a bug up close, look at a phone screen to see the microscopic components. They’re simple little tools that give you a whole range of opportunities to find things out in the work around you.

        What kind of thing do you think would be more fun?
