Magnifying glass quiz with answers for Grade 1 science.

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🔍 A magnifying glass is a convex lens that makes objects appear larger.
• 💡 Light bends (refracts) as it passes through the lens, creating a magnified image.
• 📝 Magnifying glasses are used to observe small details in objects, like insects or plant parts.
• 🔬 The power of a magnifying glass is measured by how much larger it makes an object appear (e.g., 2x means twice as big).
• 🌱 Magnifying glasses help us see details that are too small to see with our eyes alone.
