This document provides instructions for an activity to teach students how to observe objects more closely using a magnifying glass. The activity guides students to examine pictures of objects at close range to guess what they are, look at real objects with a magnifying glass to see greater details, and compare the shapes, colors, sizes and textures of different objects. Students are asked to look closely at pictures and out the window to identify colors and shapes, and to draw pictures of objects they observe with a magnifying glass.
