 10 labs - bulkExperiment with each element of a simple 16-power refracting telescope and see how the lenses work when put together without using an optical bench. Galileo's first telescopes lacked precision and clarity. Nevertheless, he made astonishing discoveries with his crude instruments. This simple lab enables students to build a telescope that is similar to Galileo's. Activities include: learning how a telescope is similar to a pinhole camera; viewing inverted astronomical images; estimating the magnification power of a telescope; finding the focal length of a lens; seeing how the moon looked to Galileo. Recommended for astronomy, physics, and physical science at the elementary through college level.Our Price: $55.00 |
