During science lab #4, we took a look at magnification. We learned that when we magnify something, we only make the item look larger while it actually stays the same size. We discussed the different tools we can use to magnify an object. Here we are looking at a feather under a large screen microscope.
Each child was invited up for a closer view of the feather, which looked very stiff and sharp under magnification.
We spent some time looking through view masters. Everyone loved how they made
such tiny pictures easy to see.... and in 3D too! We could have looked through these all day.
Lastly, we learned how to use magnifying glasses properly and then used them to look at the details of all kinds of tiny objects.
