In this optics activity, learners make a simple telescope using two lenses and a cardboard tube. Learners construct the telescope and then calculate its magnification.

This hands-on astronomy activity allows you to create a “cutaway” telescope to clearly show how reflector and refractor telescopes work.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the path of light as it reflects off of mirrors and how this is used in telescopes.

This fun hands-on astronomy activity uses a variety of simple props to help learners understand why they see what they see in a telescope.
