Scientists use magnifying tools to help them see small objects.
Magnifying tools make things look larger.
Magnifying tools include: microscopes, hand lenses, and magnifying boxes.

Hand Lens
To use a hand lens, hold the lens near your eye.
Then, move the hand lens closer to the object until the object is sharp and in focus.

Magnifying Box
A magnifying box has a lens in its lid.
You can use it to study things that are hard to hold, such as bugs.
