 As soon as I finished folding up my foldscope, I needed to try it out. It really is a special tool. Now thinking of ways to use it with my elementary school students. Some are studying hexagons- anyone know anything with hexagon cells?


 Commment: this is Foldscope admin – Manu. Somehow your comment button is not activated. But since you asked for hexagons – here is an incredible finding of hexagons in glitter. https://microcosmos.foldscope.com/?p=4733
