Today in science we talked about a special tool called a handlens, which we will use throughout the year during various experiments. The girls learned a few basic facts about the handlens:
- The handlens we use in class has two lenses. The lenses help us to magnify an object. The lower lens has a higher magnification.
- We hold a handlens with (duh!) our hands. Please refrain from using the lens around your mouth so you do not spread germs!
We then used the handlens to observe animals in our room. These included a frog, two turtles, two gerbils, and a hamster. The girls recorded their observations in their journals. Here are two groups observing both a hamster and gerbil!
