Microscopes in Class 3

Today, we have been using our RMS microscope kit that we have been kindly sent to use in Class 3. The microscopes allow us to look closely at small objects. We discovered that microscopes bend by light. It allows us to see things more clearly by making them look bigger to us. We carried out 3 experiments:

For the first activity we explored how a droplet of water can work as a magnifying glass.

During the second activity we looked at a penny through the magnifying glasses then a microscope to explore its surface more closely.

For the third activity we used a selection of Petra dishes filled with different objects to explore.
