I am a scientist and do microscopy at home as well. Well, my kids have always been eager to explore with me, so now we look at gems and microbes together. We have a lot of fun and the good thing is it makes learning really exciting for them. I'm sharing this here to encourage everyone to use creative tools to make learning fun. Here is our latest adventure where we take a look at Kinetic Sand.
