Micrographia was the inspiration for
my classroom project, which had two
aims. First, to build a working microscope
inspired by early models from
inexpensive, easily obtainable modern
materials that students could use in
class; and second, for the students to
investigate the microscopic world for
themselves, taking Robert Hooke’s
studies as a starting point and producing
their own observations in the formapproxiof
sketches and descriptions
