Make Your Own Microscope Slides

Posted on March 25, 2012 by smartchickteacher

Using clear nail polish, a variety of found items, and plastic microscope slides, your students can make a bunch of microscope slides very cheaply! The kids love making them and they love looking at them through the microscopes even more!

Try it!

Great method to make cost effective microscope slides. Microscope slide-making kits can be expensive when you have to buy so many of them.
