Magnify Your Mind!
—Science, Writing, Art and The Private Eye®

Friday, March 31, 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Los Angeles Convention Center, 408a

Give your students a wallop of wonder and mystery—using a jeweler’s loupe, everyday objects, and a powerful inquiry process. Students investigate science phenomena with fresh perspective and surprise themselves as they write, draw, and theorize at sophisticated levels. Habits of close observation bloom. Critical thinking soars. NGSS and Common Core come to life. Take away this easy, hands-on method—and magnify minds! Free starter kit.
