We are creating more nature spaces at our school and our kids will be using science to increase biodiversity in our school grounds.
Exploring the wonders of the microscopic world with pocket microscopes will open up a new world of understanding for all our students to share their knowledge and skills with others to protect our fragile ecosystems that we can't always see with the naked eye.
We will be able to measure and track these ecosystems and support living things on our school grounds.
Students always involve themselves in nature play at school during recess and lunch.
During science, many students bring interesting objects from home and school such as leaves, rocks, insects, bugs, mini-beasts, eggs, soil, small gemstones, feathers, fossils etc.
We collect items through nature scavenger hunts.
The links we can make using these pocket microscopes will enhance their connection to biodiversity and sustainability as we are increasing the green zones at our school.
