⚗️ Challenge
DIY “Liquid Lens” Explorer
Objective: Create a simple lens using water to understand refraction and magnification.
Challenge:
Place a drop of clean water on a transparent sheet or the surface of a plastic wrap stretched over a cup opening. Hold it above a page with text or an image. Observe the magnified effect. Adjust droplet size and shape to notice how it changes magnification.
Extra Challenge:
Try using other liquids (oil, glycerin, salt water). Compare clarity and magnification. Document your observations and explain how light bends differently through each. Share your discovery with peers or in a school science club.
