Rock & Sand Explorer
The story of Sand □⏳
✅ Mission 1: The Investigation
1. Get your samples: a piece of limestone, a pebble, and a small scoop of sand.
2. Look at each one with just your eyes. What do you notice? How do they feel?
3. Now, let's use the microscope!
□ Microscope Tips & Tricks
- Start Low: Always start with the lowest power magnification to find your object first.
- Let There Be Light: Make sure the light on the microscope is on so you can see your sample clearly.
- Slow & Steady: Turn the focus knob very slowly until the picture is sharp, not blurry.
- For iPads: Hold the iPad very still! It's tricky. Try resting your hands on the table to stay steady. Ask a friend for help if you need it.
