Fourth Grade Class Record Essays on
VoiceThread The New York Hall of Science visited all 5th graders at Washington Irving to present a hands-on science demonstration called “More Than Magnifiers.” Each class, along with their teachers, participated in a workshop modeling how lenses can be created from drops of water. Did you know that one small drop of water is a better magnifier than three? We explored using hand lenses to build our knowledge of refraction and focal points. All of the participants were provided with an opportunity to change their view of the world around them through the use of different types of ocular lenses. Thank you to our sponsors from the Edith Winthrop Teachers Center, who funded this enlightening two-day visit. (Posted 1/18/10)
