Learning Resources GeoSafari Jr. My First Microscope

Discover the hidden and wonderful world of small things. Look at plants, rocks or insects with up to 8x magnification. The chunky design of this fully functional microscope is designed especially for little hands and is perfect as a child’s first microscope.

GeoSafari Jr. My First Microscope is ideal for investigating paper, cloth, plants, hair or paper. Easy-to-use, it features two large eyepieces, eliminating the need to close one eye, and an LED light to enhance the clarity of the image. All the images appear right-side up and left-right correct for easy understanding.

Using GeoSafari Jr. My First Microscope

Install three AAA batteries as shown on page 4 in this guide. Place an object on the specimen tray. Switch on the light. Show your child how to look through the eyepieces and turn the focusing knob. Encourage them to find different items and examine them under the microscope. Some interesting things to observe include: toys, money, leaves, cloth, paper, and food. Ask your child to tell you how the item looks different under the microscope and what details he or she notices. Have paper and pencils available for your child to draw how the item looks both with and without the microscope.
