This activity will get students focusing on the small details as they use their observation skills to take a closer look at objects in your outdoor area. This activity will get students looking closely at the details and they use their observation skills to take a closer look at objects in your outdoor area.
They will choose an object (for example a leaf) and draw what they can see using their eyes in the first circle, using a magnifying glass in the second circle, and a microscope in the third. It’s a great activity to introduce them to microorganisms as well as allowing them to use a variety of scientific equipment. If you do not have access to or time to use microscopes an activity sheet is included without the third circle.
