Product Details

Students learn how a telescope works. Students build two different types of simple telescopes—an astronomical and a terrestrial telescope—each with a magnification of 5X. They then experiment with the different telescope designs and determine how the lens combination in each telescope works to magnify an object’s image.

Specifications

This classroom set contains enough material to build eight telescopes—four astronomical telescopes and four terrestrial telescopes.
