Scope-on-a-rope is a very cool way to have hands-on science activities in the classroom.  It offers the views of microscopes but for the whole class instead of one at a time.  It is easy and fun to use.  Lesson plans can be found under classroom activites page.

 These lessons are fun and engaging.  If you contact Adrienne S. Lopez she can offer you many ideas on ways to use the scope-on-a-rope in your classroom.  It is a wonderful tool.  They are not limited to individual or collaborative acitivities.  This is a very versitile tool that every science teacher should look into using in their classroom.
