Science Time!!

Today we completed our Mr. and Mrs. Potato Heads and we used the hand lenses to see teeny tiny pictures. They were so cute!!

As a whole class we went through the directions of gluing the body parts and bow. I allowed the students to decide whether to make the bow a hair bow or a bow tie. Watching them decide was adorable! Finally we labeled the body parts with our knowledge of the Five Senses and students had time to add a setting to their picture.

During Science time the students had a partner and they discussed the details they were able to see in a teeny tiny picture thanks to the hand lense making the photo appear larger.  The class was so excited to get their hands on the hand lenses that you could hear a pin drop in our room. For the activity, my directions were to cut out the tiny pictures and place them on top of the larger picture they matched. If your child wants to enjoy the activity again at home~ click HERE to print the pictures and if you don't have a hand lense... someone mentioned that Dollar Tree sometimes carries them.

Enjoy the pictures!!
