Life science learners need to be able to use a microscope. With this comprehensive resource, they first experience how lenses and magnification work, and then get familiar with using a compound microscope. Tremendous background...

Illuminated physics stars show what they know about light by taking this exam. They match several related vocabulary terms to descriptions and answer multiple choice questions about the characteristics of light, magnification, and...

In this math instructional activity, students practice the techniques associated with magnification and reduction. This instructional activity has 9 problems for the students to solve and includes and answer sheet.

In this magnification worksheet, students read about how lenses magnify images and how to determine the magnification of an image. Students divide ten by the focal length which is found to be the measurement from the center of the lens...

In this microscope activity, students complete a crossword puzzle given twenty three hints about the parts of a microscope, the magnification of a microscope and the types of microscopes.

For this microscope worksheet, students use an on line site to answer questions about the history of the microscope, they view objects and identify what each is, they explore different magnifications of the microscope and they answer...

Students construct a simple refracting telescope. They calculate the magnification.

Any amateur astronomers in the class? If there are and they need help figuring out which lens gives the best magnification, this video is for them. This non-academic, non-scientific clip is great if your want to learn a little about...

In this microscope worksheet, students label the parts of a microscope, they calculate the powers of magnification for each lens on the scope and they answer questions about making a wet mount slide.

Students label the parts of a compound microscope. After studying cell structure and as a way to reinforce and simulate the concept of magnification, students create Microsoft PowerPoint slides containing one plant and one animal cell.

Students examine and label the parts of a microscope. They discover magnification as well. They draw and label a plant and animal cell and create a PowerPoint presentation.

This is a stellar overview of everything light and quantum! There are 30 multiple choice questions, none of them requiring any mathematical computation. There are a few diagrams to analyze: light rays striking reflective and refractive...

Explore the connection of light, reflection, and mirrors. A comprehensive lesson introduces the basics of light in relation to reflection and mirrors. After an explanation of the vocabulary, the presentation shows how to create ray...

Let your physics learners take this electromagnetic radiation exam home to show what they know. You could also use it in class or assign it as a review. The content covers concepts pertaining to color, wavelength, frequency, refraction,...

In this microscope lesson students explore the compound light microscope. Students discover techniques concerning cleaning, storage and proper use of the microscope. Students discover the working parts of the compound light microscope as...

Objects are larger (or smaller) than they appear! Scholars use a laboratory investigation to explore the difference between resolution and magnification. The activity allows them to calculate the size of the field of view of their light...

For this scale factor worksheet, students magnify and also reduce in transformations.  There are seven matching, two true false problems, and three find the image problems on this worksheet.  The solutions are provided.

Let there be light! When your physics learners take this midterm exam, light will be their focus. They will show what they know about electromagnetic waves, interference, refraction, reflection, lenses, prisms, and more! The test is...

Students examine what magnification is and does. For this microscope and magnification lesson, students listen to a reading of Greg's Microscope by Millicent E. Selson which explains what a microscope does. They talk about magnification...

Students experiment with a converging lens. They observe the image of an object through a lens. They determine the magnification of the lens.

After considering the importance of scale, microbiologists measure the field of view for the 40X and 100X objectives of a compound light microscope. With this information, they calculate the size of a paramecium and a corn stem cell....

Learners build a telescope and give quantification of its magnification and field of view while making observations regarding images. In this telescope lesson plan, students use a simple lens to project a scene and examine various...

Students investigate relative size using foraminifera.  In these microfossils lessons, students examine the size of microfossils found in core samples and that an almost incomprehensible number of microfossils are deposited in seafloor...

Students explore the concept of magnification. In this science tools lesson, students participate in activities at viewing stations within the classroom. Students use magnifying tools at each of the stations and reflect on their...
