Science
- The student learned about observing tiny objects through the microscope.
- They discovered that there are small living organisms that are not visible to the naked eye.
- They understand the concept of magnification and how it helps in seeing details of small objects.

After the activity, encourage the student to create their own "microscope discoveries" journal where they can draw and write about the things they observe through the microscope. You can also introduce them to simple experiments using the microscope to further develop their scientific curiosity.
