if you get bored during the half term holiday and want to have a go using digital microscopes the learning lighthouse clc at birket avenue in moreton is holding free science sessions on wednesday 28th May 10am to 12noon and also 1pm to 3pm. The sessions are for ages 10 to 13.

You will get to use our digital microscopes to examine all sorts of objects under magnification. Take photographs of these objects and then work with adobe photoshop to add filters and change colours. bring some small objects you wish to examine. this is a family learning activity and all children must be accompanied by an adult who will be expected to participate, so bring your granny for a fun day out!

here are some .swf files to try:
teachers: use them on your white boards
pupils: challenge yourself to explain what is happening

click the links to activate, they should open up in your browser.
