현미경으로 바라본 세상은 어떨까요? 현미경은, 너무 작아 그 동안 우리의 눈으로 볼 수 없었던 신기한 세상을 펼쳐줍니다. 확대경과 현미경으로 광물질, 섬유, 지문, 우표, 주방세제, 연못의 미생물, 모래 등을 관찰하며 새로운 발견을 해 봅시다.

10가지 활동학습 단원을 담고 있는 이 책은 광범위한 과학분야에서 학생들의 호기심을 자극하도록 구성되어 있습니다.

미국 현미과학협회(The Microscopy Society of America)와 공동으로 개발된 이 책은 다른 젬스 책자인 ‘렌즈’, ‘사건푸는 과학탐정’, ‘색상 분석’, ‘돌 이야기’ 등과 밀접한 관련을 맺고 있습니다.

구성: 10가지 체험학습 단원, 168 페이지.
