Today students in Ms. Ballou&#8217;s class examined different types of plants using a digital USB microscope called a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodelin.com\/proscope\/proscope-hr\">Proscope<\/a>. First, the students got into self-selected groups, and we distributed the Proscopes and the plants  (flowers, moss, celery, and ferns). Then they logged into Google classroom where I posted a Google slides template for them to use to share their findings (you can make a copy of the template <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/presentation\/d\/1FTWM_Vyh03QBpf1xJogu8hAPpMUtDj8zxUpbmAFQDnQ\/copy\">here<\/a>) Students put their names on the first slide, and on the subsequent slides they were to identify each plant as vascular or non-vascualr and upload a photo or two of the plant under the microscope. Proscope makes it easy to take photos by simply clicking a button. Some students also labeled different parts of the plants using the text box and arrow tools. They had a great time seeing the plants in a way they had never seen them before, and they also got some practice making a Google slideshow. You can see their finished slideshows <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1NOXqT0k4H5VjTWg-bTzJYTSCOdmFr9vyjISu3vfsKUw\/pub\">here<\/a>. Let me know if you&#8217;d like to use the Proscopes with your class. Each school has a couple, and I can bring a box of 15 additional ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fifth graders at Trevvett Elementary have been learning about vascular and nonvascular plants in Science (SOL5.5).
