Microscopes all the time

Many teachers only bring out the microscope for the 'microscope lesson'. We use it regularly, linking biology topics to the actual histology of the organism. In this way, students learn more effectively and have a good understanding of Biology in Context.

🔬 Bringing Biology to Life with the Microscope 🔍

In many classrooms, the microscope makes a brief appearance during the 'microscope topic' and then gets packed away until next year.

Not here.

We believe that microscopes should be a constant part of the learning process in biology. Whether we're studying plant transport, animal tissues, reproduction, or even pathogens, our students are regularly peering down the lens to see real structures for themselves.

From leaf cross-sections to muscle fibres, root tips to onion cells—we connect the theory to the real histology of organisms. It's not just more engaging; it's how biology is meant to be understood.

Because nothing beats seeing it with your own eyes.

We have an extensive library of microscope slides and can select the correct slide to highlight and demonstrate what is happening within the organism. Students learn that the diagram in the book is often only a representation of the real thing
