Hey everyone, it's Doug here for AIPT and I'm here at Science Whiz
0:11
Alright, hey how you doing? So Science Whiz, we do science kits, we were STEM before it was even called STEM
0:19
All of our kits have a ton of content but they also have a full color illustrated information
0:27
booklet that talks about all the different experiments and things that you'll do with
0:32
the science kit. Cool. And we use all, have all the different science categories from chemistry to physics, to magnitude
0:41
energy, electricity, DNA. Cool, cool, cool. We've got a new cells kit that includes a clip-on microscope. Beautiful
0:49
I'll show you. Absolutely. And this clips right onto your smart phone
0:55
It does. How does that work? I'll show you. Great. So first up, you just pull up your camera app
1:10
It's good to have it in the selfie mode. And you take the clip-on microscope, which has a light source attached to it
1:17
You turn on the light, put in your slide, and then I think it's helpful to actually
1:24
slide open to find the actual light source. And once it's on there and you can kind of see it, then you can move the lighting to
1:35
get it right into, right into place. That's great. We've got a light source from above which is interfering
1:42
All right, let's do it. Then you take a picture and then you go to your camera mode and then you can crop that
1:50
And all you're doing is just using what's right inside of your own camera
1:55
You can edit that. You can crop that down to size. Just take the portion that you want
2:01
And then, it's even cooler, you can enlarge it to make it bigger
2:06
So you can get into some of the finer detail. All with using your camera app with the clip-on microscope
2:12
No other software is necessary. No other app downloads are necessary. The slides come with it
2:18
We make the slides available. We have four different versions. Insect biology, animal biology, plant biology, and then a set where you can make your own. Beautiful
2:30
Planting things around on the ground and what have you. That's tremendous
2:38
That's shipping now. We have a version of the clip-on microscope in our cells kit
2:46
Cells under the microscope. And here you're learning about cells. How they divide
2:52
How you can enlarge through magnification to look at them. Looking at plant cells
2:57
How to use the clip-on microscope that's included. You have a suggested age group
3:03
Well, with a microscope, we think every junior high and high school science class would probably have one for each child
3:10
By the time kids are in high school, everybody's got a phone or device of their own
3:14
This is something you can take out, have in your classroom, take it out into the field, really be anywhere
3:21
Super affordable. Very affordable. This is retail for $29.99. Our cells kit sells for $24.99 retail
3:31
Well, that's great. It's available now. Thank you very much. Pleasure
