| Helping Your Child Learn Science |
Looking at objects closely is an important part of science, and a magnifying glass lets us see things we don't even know are there. It also helps us see how objects are similar or different from each other.
What you'll need
- A magnifying glass
- Your science journal
What to do
- Use your magnifying glass to see:
- What's hidden in soil or under leaves;
What's on both sides of leaves;
How mosquitoes bite;
Different patterns of snowflakes; and
Butterfly wings.
How many different objects can you find in the soil? - Draw pictures, or describe what you see, in your notebook.
If you were able to examine a mosquito, you probably saw how it bites something--with its proboscis, a long hollow tube that sticks out of its head. Snowflakes are fascinating because no two are alike. Powdery scales give butterfly wings their color.
