Please take a look at Caroline Schooley’s work at Project Micro, an outreach of the Microscopy Society of America.  There is an extensive bibliography there, reviewing books, videos and other materials aimed at school-aged children.

Dear members of the list, We are planning to offer a one week summer program for 8th and 9th graders on “Optical microscopy and imaging techniques”. I kindly request your input on any available book or literature at this level with basic geometrical optics, optical path, image formation, contrasting techniques including polarization information and any available easy to understand tools and kits (especially for diffraction patterns) that could be used for the students to make mini projects.

Thanking you in advance and I greatly appreciate your suggestions and recommendations.
Shiv
