Another fun, easy science experiment for kids at home

LOOK CLOSELY

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 mosquitos 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.
