Magnificent Magnifying Glasses

Learning some persepective!

In this lesson the children viewed objects of various sizes from several viewing distances to discover that their visual field is limited. They recorded their observations and had the opportunity to speculate about and experiment freely with magnifying glasses. This activity helped them to understand the limitiations of our eyesight as well as encouraging them to get 'up close and personal' with things in nature they would normally not notice.
