🔬 We are zooming into the new school year with some serious focus! 🔬
Mr. Pagawisan’s biology students are already hard at work exploring the microscopic world. Our Sophomore Biology class kicked things off with an Introduction to the Microscope, while the Advanced Biology crew brushed up on their lab skills with a comprehensive review. Both groups got hands-on practice making their very own wet-mount specimen slides, using the classic newsprint letter "e" to master focus, magnification, and proper slide handling. 📝✨
But here is the absolute best part of the activity: Unlike the previous years, every single student had their own microscope! 🤩
No sharing, no waiting in line—just 100% hands-on learning with a phenomenal 1:1 student-to-microscope ratio. Having dedicated equipment for every student completely transforms how much time they get to spend actually observing and discovering.
A massive and heartfelt THANK YOU AGAIN to the Montana Masonic Foundation for their incredibly generous support in making this equipment upgrade a reality. Your contribution is directly empowering our students to dive deeper into science, one slide at a time! 🧬🏫
