Use a microscope to closely observe everyday items in nature, things that you can eat, and things that you don't usually pay attention to. In this experience, each person will make a handmade microscope with 15x magnification then walk around with it to closely observe various things such as flowers, wooden surfaces, and stones.

-Schedule-
1. Instructions about how to use the microscope
2. Walk around, observe, and gather items
3. Share with the group what you observed
4. Reflection and debriefing

Your guide will explain background information about items you find and observe.

A magnification of 15x is a level that allows you to see the pollen grains of flowers, mold hyphae, and the structure of the compound eyes of insects—it is a look into a world that is completely different from the world you can only view with your regular eyesight!
