I feel that there are many advantages and disadvantages to using the science activity we chose. One of the biggest advantages is that it is cost efficient. It also allows students to have time to draw the microorganisms using the pictures. I also like that it is interactive and that students can compare all of the organisms visually at the same time. A disadvantage is that they aren't learning skills about how to use a microscope. Also, you need to have a computer for every student to have this be a more personally meaningful activity. Some of the links have quite a bit of information that students may not know how to synthesize or identify what is truly important for them to know.
