Informazioni

Every child has had the fascinating experience of looking through a magnifying glass. Many of us have taken the magnifying glass and looked at far away objects only to notice that the magnifying effect no longer occurs. So what exactly is going on with the lens of a magnifying glass? In this Interactive, learners will explore a converging lens. A candle can be dragged to varying locations and the characteristics of the image can be quickly observed. There is an activity sheet to accompany this Interactive.
