An interactive hands-on workshop for vacation care where children get look at all sorts of things up close!
With 10 digital microscopes we will be looking at;
- your children's own hair and skin
- leaves, flowers, stems, algae, seaweed
- feathers, scales
- coca cola, coffee and tea stains
- nylon, polyester, acrylic, silk, foam and wool
- insect legs, abdomen and wings
- fungus, beans, rice
- microfilm, newspaper and magazine clippings
+ much more!
The excitement builds throughout the workshop as children realise there is much more than meets the eye. Even seemingly mundane objects having amazing qualities under the microscope! Of course, we also discuss why the observed structures are present with the children sketching their specimens to take home.
