Dinoscopes

We have been using dinoscopes for the past few weeks. Dinoscopes are like a digital camera, but they can take really close up photos.  We used the dinoscopes to make a "What Am I?" poem.  We had to choose an object around the classroom, take photos using the dinoscope and then use these photos with clues to see if the reader could guess what the object was.  When you use the dinoscope it saves the pictures it takes as a screen shot.  Here are some pictures of what I took with the dinoscope. The top picture is a normal photo and the bottom picture is a picture taken with a dinoscope. Dinoscope photos show more details as they can zoom in 200 times closer than what we are able to look at an object with our own eyes.
