Robert Hooke

That's right folks...the one and only Robert Hooke came all the way to Angoche to teach my kids about cells. After all, he is famous for discovering the cell in 1665. I am going to miss how easy it is to get students excited about whatever. Dumb hat+paper moustache+maskingtape glasses=guaranteed authentically enthusiastic participation by 100 8th graders.
It's weird to think that in England 1665, 'ol Bobby had enough equipment to see cells, but I still can't show my students cells in 2010 because I have yet to find the schools microscopes and when I do find them...not sure they're going to be functioning properly. Oh Mozambique.
