This slide set is helpful for younger children to start exploring with a microscope. It has six prepared slides of pollen/spores, textiles, insects, tiny creatures, animals, and plants. Each slide contains four separate specimens, giving you a total of 24 interesting specimens. Slides are safe for kids with no glass edges exposed. View at 10X to 100X magnification with a microscope like the Kids model. Grades K-6.

Perfect Starter Set of Slides

I needed a set of slides that would be interesting and educational to my lower level elementary students, and not too difficult for them to understand since they haven't learned about cellular features yet. This was perfect. The slides are clearly marked, well-made, and come in a nice box for storage. The specimens are mounted nicely, and work great on our dissecting microscope.

Great tool for youngsters

I bought this with the Pocket Microscope and was really impressed with the clarity and variety in the slides. The only drawback is that the pocket microscope's clips are spaced to when you are viewing one object on the slide the clips sit overtop of the other viewing areas. Youngsters still need to be careful because the slides are fragile, but at least they won't be cut by pieces of glass if they drop it.

This actually got rave reviews from our seven year old. It's a nice, durable set that should withstand years of use. It's great for younger kids because it doesn't involve lots of fragile glass slides or tiny coverslips. I doubt though its interesting enough to surpass more than a few uses.
