Spence asked the right question.
Instead of memorizing some stuff about cells or aemobas and such, DO THEY KNOW HOW TO USE AND UNDERSTAND THE MICROSCOPE NOW? (NOT yelling, just wanted to emphasize)
how much do you remember from 6th grade science class, really... I would rather see the kids learn a good foundation of tools and thought processes..
could something better be done? maybe, probably, BUT the point is probably to keep other distractions at a minimum and teach the microscope, THEN introduce the science after the kids know how to use the tool.. at least thats how I'd do it...
CBeans, are they onto using it for an application yet? I WOULD be disappointed if they taught them the skill and just moved on...
