My First Lab Microscope Prepared Slide Set - Blood & Guts (5 Slides)

My 8 year-old daughter was so excited to receieve these slides. She wants to be some kind of a doctor and this is just what she wants to see. She likes to disect and collect samples then look at them under her microscope. It's SO much better to have these slides then trying to stop her from getting her own samples!

I purchased it for my 4 year old, who is crazy about anatomy of the human body. The slides show you samples of different body organisms, but could be a little boring because they are not real. As the product description says, they are for older kids who want to do a little study and have a well developed attention span. I have also puchased the plain slides, which are more fun for my son, as we can experiment with different objects, and even 'research' our own blood samples from our own scraped knees someday :). But anyways, the Blood and Guts slides will definetely serve us well now and in the future!

The title is intriguing, but don't be fooled. The slides are of lower quality. They are Ok for the beginning microscopist, however. I am a high school biology teacher, and perhaps I am too picky! I expected better quality when I purchased these.

These slides are okay. They still don't really show anything that kids would be terribly interested in. A friend of ours gave us a telescope and we were hoping to find some neat slides that would spark the interest of a young mind. These are just kind of there. Maybe will try one of the others next time, or blank slides that you can put your own stuff in to examine!

The students love looking at the slides. They ask more questions and ask to look at the slides several times a week.
