Featured Activity Kit: Zoomy Digital Microscope

Zoomy™ Handheld Digital MicroscopeZoomy: digital microscope is one of many new activity kits in the OISE library Curriculum Resources collection! This amazing kit comes with a digital microscope, digital camera with USB connection, an application CD, instruction manual, and adaptors to display images on a computer, projector, or interactive whiteboard.

The all-in-one microscope encourages hands-on investigation and allows students to take videos and images up to 43x magnification. Simply hold the scope over an object, and then click a single button to take an image or video. This incredibly kid-friendly device makes exploring their environment, and recording observations and investigations fantastic fun. The microscope and camera are designed for students of all ages, from pre-Kindergarten to grade 12.

You can view a larger image of the kit in the OISE Library K-12 Manipulatives Database, which is designed to help OISE students discover our hands-on learning resources. Though Curriculum Resources materials may only be borrowed by OISE students, faculty and staff, everyone is welcome to stop by and try out this little microscope, which is now on display on the coffee table on the Ground Floor of the library!
