Uses
A 3X magnifier is the first optical tool most children use in science. The modest power keeps the image bright and the field of view wide, so young students can find what they are looking at quickly, without the difficulty of a narrow, high-power field.
Because the magnifier is made entirely of clear plastic, there is no glass lens to break in the hands of small children, and a class set can be handed out for group activities on small animals, seeds, rocks and textiles.
- Hold the magnifier close to the eye.
- Move the object towards the lens until it looks large and sharp.
- Record or draw the details observed in a notebook.
A simple classroom exercise is to sketch an object first with the naked eye and then again through the magnifier, and compare how many more features can be seen. The activity builds the habit of careful observation that later work with microscopes depends on.
