Developing Ideas
For our telescope:
- Eyepiece: Double Convex: Focal Length=15cm
- Objective: Double Convex: Focal Length=50cm
- Total length of telescope=65cm

For our Microscope:
- Eyepiece: Double Convex: Focal Length=13.5cm
- Objective: Double Convex: Focal Length= 50cm
- Total length of microscope= 17cm
We used the lens with a 50cm focal length in both our telescope and our microscope
What went well:
- Teamwork
- Time Management
- Learning Concepts
- Division of the work
- Lenses
- Ray Diagrams
- Telescope Designs+Components
- Microscope Designs+Components
- Kaleidoscope Designs
Different Types of Telescopes:
1. Refracting- What we are using
2. Reflecting
Analyzing
Creating the Solution
Problems:
- Thievery
- Illness
- Frustration; both with lenses and ray diagrams

What We Learned
Solutions
Audrey:
Milla:
- Found new lenses after our original ones were stolen
- Caught up quickly after we started behind when Milla was sick
- Did more research to fix problems with ray diagramming

Developing Ideas
- How different types of lenses work with each other
- How to apply focal lengths into building a telescope and microscope
- How to effectively manage and divide up work
- I learned how to use focal lengths to create ray diagram for the lenses
- I learned how to create a microscope lens
- I learned how difficult it was rto find lenses that work well with each other
For our Kaleidoscope:
- Three paneled mirrors running the length of the tube
- Magnifying glass at the end of the tube
- Container with beads at the very end
- Length of tube=24cm;
Total Length=27cm
