Name
Lenses and Physics
Description
Students examine the properties of lenses, such as the focal length and magnification produced. Students will use knowledge of the thin lens equation to construct and test a simple microscope and telescope. They will compare their observations and measurements to those predicted by the theory. Some fun physics demonstrations will be included at the end of the session, along with liquid nitrogen ice-cream for everyone.
