With the rise in STEM learning toys that offer a chance for kids of all ages to engage in learning about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics it’s no wonder more people are looking for the best STEM item for their kids. Today I am featuring My First Lab Duo-Scope a microscope that’s up to par with today’s technology standards. Consider this an upgraded to the old-fashioned microscope we used as kids.
*Samples received. All opinions are my own and not swayed by outside sources.*
My First Lab Duo-Scope has two light sources that allow the item your kid is looking at to be magnified from both slides and even allows you to magnify solid objects. If you have a child that’s intrigued by how things are made or what things look like at a larger scope, then the My First Lab Duo-Scope will certainly inspire them to learn more about items we use in our everyday life.
The perfect useful toy idea for homeschool parents who want to incorporate the use of the DuoScope into their science curriculum. This is also perfect for the non-homeschool household where parents simply enjoy giving their kids something that inspires them to learn more. When a kid is given a chance to have fun while learning, their brains expand substantially and they start to think more creatively in all areas of life.

You would need two instruments to view what this one does — a basic biological scope to look at specimens on a slide (light shines up from under the slide and through the tissue) and a traditional stereo or dissecting microscope to view solid objects at lower power (light shines down onto the specimen to be observed). That’s pretty cool for a FIRST LAB DUO-SCOPE STARTER KIT!
