===Used Note for Teachers===Be careful not to use the phrase 'zoom in'. To zoom in is to make something appear closer. A Magnifying glass is not for zooming in, it is for making something appear bigger which is to magnify. Students in KS3 and KS4 often use the word zoom when they mean magnify and lose marks in their exams. ==Key Stage 2=====Meaning===A '''magnifying glass''' is a sentencescientific tool used to [[magnify]] the [[image]] of small [[objects]]. ===About Magnifying Glasses===: A '''magnifying glass''' can be used to look more closely at small things to find out more about them. : The '''magnifying glass''' makes things look bigger than they actually are.
