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.
