Hi I am a 5th grader and I have been exploring the Foldscope! It has been so much fun and I’m looking forward to do more research! This is my first post 😊
Where does dust comes from? Identifying the source of dust using a Foldscope
I have been thinking about the dust in my house for a while, does it come from outside or inside homes or both? How much our bodies contribute to it? What all we can find in house dust. Can this information be used to control dust. I did some online research but found contradictory information…

A few days ago, the 11-year-old lectured me on the earliest farmers in the fertile crescent, the Indian…
