Science @ Home - Refraction: Water Magnifying Glass

 

What? Explore the superpower of sight and refraction by making your own water magnifying glass. 

How? Look through the slides to explore refraction and find out how to make your water magnifying glass. 

Reflect: How far away from the glass does the arrow have to be before it looks upside down? 

Can you find any other see-through surfaces which make light refract?


Can you write a secret code with arrow writing that can only be cracked when viewed through a glass of water? 


Can you use your water magnifying glass to look at other tiny things? What details can you see which you don’t normally notice?


Share: Post a photo of your water magnifying glass and maybe a secret code you have created on the Science padlet. Remember to write your name and hub on your post.
