What our experts think
The easy to use, talking microscope is a great way of nurturing children’s natural curiosity and their interest in science and nature. Our testers found it more engaging than a normal microscope, as it talked to the children so while they enjoyed looking closely at the slides, they could also listen and learn the facts at the same time.
This is great for teaching them scientific vocabulary and developing their knowledge about the world around them. The quiz also added an extra element and reinforced learning for the slightly older children. Our testers did find that the slides are quite tricky for children to slide in by themselves, so a little adult assistance is needed when using the microscope.
