Nursery World - Hardware review

Larger than life From bugs to body parts, children are always fascinated at seeing objects magnified. The problem is that they all want to look at the same time! The Intel Play QX3 Computer Microscope (Pounds 74.95) provides a fantastic way for children to examine magnified objects on a screen together. If your school received a computer microscope as part of the science year initiative then prise it out of the Key Stage 2 science co-ordinator's hands!
