Activity Cards

Explore the micro-scale with hands-on activities designed to be educational, easy, fun, and accessible to all ages K-12.

Foldscope Activity Cards introduce students to the connections between the macroscopic world and the invisible microscopic world.

Colorful illustrations identify macroscopic structures and concepts on the front of the card and the back features pictures showing the view through a microscope so you know exactly what to look for in your samples.

Multimodal instructions - text, illustrations, and video demonstrations - make microscopy accessible to everyone!

Every card is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards and displays clear learning goals. This makes them the perfect tool for indoor and outdoor classroom environments. Students can take the cards and their Foldscopes wherever their curiosity leads them to learn more about the natural world!
