Explore the world of microscopy by taking a closer look at everyday objects during this fully resourced and interactive SSERC Meet.
 
We will use a range of equipment, including microscopes and magnifying lenses, to reveal the unseen details of natural and synthetic materials. 
 
We will also focus on the bigger picture as we provide CfE links and ideas for incorporating microscopy into Early, First and Second Levels. 
 
The SSERC Meet comes at no cost to the school and is fully resourced. The kit box will enable up to 10 members of staff to take part in hands-on activities, alongside the live presenters. The setting will then be able to use the resources provided to enhance learning experiences and outcomes.
