Getting Our Science Equipment Ready

So happy and excited.


The second lot of  resources came in today.

A big bundle from amazon.

This is the bundle...reasonable postage too...I was pleasantly surprised...the box was huge and all arrived in perfect order. 

First term we are doing physics and using a bought curriculum. When I get that I will show you it...mega excited by that one.

The microscope Thames and Kosmos Biology Tk2 Scope is what we all played with today.  I have not really looked through a microscope with success before, but you should have heard me scream with joy looking at salt crystals...lol...yeah...I was excited...

I will show you the photos I took with my plain old phone shortly.

This microscope is Thames and Kosmos Biology Tk2 Scope ...I did lots of research and reviews on it and this one came out well considering the price...it was just over $81 Australian ...think its about $84 now...plus maybe $15 or so for postage...I got 6 or 7 things from amazon and postage was $80...so pleased with that...

Oh the biology, earth sciences and just plain fun we can do with it at home...it's as sturdy as anything...really strong plastic...feels tough...

Ok...some photos...remember...it was just my camera that I held that took these photos...so not pro quality but good enough for the kids to print out and make some photos for their science books.

Here's a couple of the box and the actual microscope.

Ok...

Until next time
