Today's Summer Daily Fun

Underwater Telescope

See what's under water:  Poke your telescope in the water and look through it for a clear, enlarged view of life beneath the surface.  In a creek you might see creepy bugs and insects.  In a swimming pool or bathtub, you might see who knows what!

You will need:

• A food storage tub with a snap-on lid (an empty yogurt container works great)
• Clear plastic wrap

How to do it:

Kids:  Get some help with this one.  First, cut off the bottom of the tub.  Then cut out the center of the tub's lid so that only the rim remains.  Stretch the plastic wrap over the tub's top and snap the rim over it to secure it in place.  Insert the plastic wrapped end into the water and look through the top.  When you stick your scope into the water, the water pressure pushes the plastic wrap into a concave magnifying lens.  Hint:  If you don't have a plastic tub or can't find someone to help you cut out the bottom and the lid, any tube with two open ends will work.  Just fasten your plastic wrap on the end with rubber bands or masking tape.  Enjoy!
