Age: 22

From: Toowoomba, Australia

Occupation: Teacher

Object: Microscope

Story: I was using a microscope to examine the heart rate of daphnia when the daphnia released its eggs and gave birth in front of 20 year 12 students. Needless to say they were very excited to reuse the daphnia for their population unit.

Stephanie’s Story

Miniature Terrestrial Globe, c.1825 (Inv. 33596)

Miniature Terrestrial Globe, c.1825 (Inv. 33596)

Name: Stephanie

Age: 25

From: Australia

Occupation: Teacher

Object: Globe

Story: Every time in my house when one of us would ask a question about a place of country, my dad’s immediate response would be “Do you know . . .” closely followed by “GET THE GLOBE”. A collective groan would right through the house as we had to spot a country on the globe. Now, however, I still do it to my students.

There is still a collective groan!
