Project: Using "Bugscope" In Science
Classrooms
Description: "Bugscope" is a free
program developed for elementary school science teachers
to have access to Environmental Scanning Electron
Microscopy (ESEM). The electron microscope is housed
at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign. Teacher
and students (as well as pre-service teachers now
in Marquette's education program) submit a proposal
to UIUC. Once accepted, the school sends insects to
be studied to the university for preparation. On the
scheduled date, a live, on-line chat occurs and participants
have control over magnification and scanning power
of the ESEM via their computer screen. Images are
then stored on a personalized website for future access.
Technology: Web-based Electron Microscopy
