follow the Teacher button, ask to see materials available to support lessons,
choose Ideas, based on a product. Type in microscope, click on Intel Microscope
and Intel Goodies. A bank of materials are available. You can see straight
away that several of the ideas require the program Inspiration - and there
is a free demo CD in the box. Do try it out it is a superb bit of software.
The demo version will die after 30 days but enjoy it while you can try it
