Discovering Design with Biology Microscope Supply Kit
This microscope slide supply kit is designed to support both Berean Builders’ Discovering Design with Biology and Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Biology. With a carefully curated selection of prepared slides, stains, and microscope accessories, this kit allows students to explore the structure of living organisms and discover the complexity of God’s creation through direct observation.
Ideal for homeschool families and co-ops, this kit provides the essential microscope materials needed to complete required lab activities without the frustration of sourcing individual items. Students will gain hands-on experience identifying cells, tissues, and microorganisms while building foundational microscopy skills appropriate for high school biology.
