4. Fun Microscope Observations
You can use this science worksheet whether you have a microscope or not.
If you have a microscope, you can:
Make observations - Before using the microscope, consider heading out on an adventure to get some exercise while looking for different items to bring back home with you. Let your kids choose the various items they’d like to put under the microscope, such as leaves, twigs, flower petals, and more.
Learning with a microscope - Once you get home with the kids, you can pull out the microscope and let them place their objects on it to get the best possible view. When seeing some of these objects up close, your kids will be amazed.
Your kids may even want to go back out and find more items to place under the microscope because they think it’s that much fun.
If you do NOT have a microscope, no worries! - You can watch videos like this one from Sci-Inspi on YouTube.
Write about the observations -
After making the observations, children can write about those observations on the worksheets (Do you see what I see? and Microscope Observation).
The worksheets offer plenty of space for children to list several items and the observations they made from them after using the microscope.
