Explorers explored the world of microscopy and magnification. First, they wrote down what they already knew about microscopy and magnification and what they wanted to learn from today's adventure. Next, they watched a short BrainPop video on microscopes. Then they broke into groups of 2-3 and found a station. There were 5 stations set up. 1 with a dissection microscope, 1 with a digital microscope, 2 with compound microscopes and the final station had an assortment of magnifying glasses and loupes. Each station also had an assortment of prepared slides, sand, pond water, leaves, nuts, shells and insects to view. Explorers worked at each station for roughly 5 minutes before moving to the next one. They were to write down their observations and draw what they saw. After they had visited each station, they wrote about what they had learned from the experience. Lastly, the shared with the group their findings. To sum it up, they learned that "not everything is as it seems." Links:
