3. Mission 3 of 4

   Spy-I-spy

   • 2+ players

   One player picks something far away outside, like a tree, a water tank or a sign, and describes it ("something red on a roof"). The others find it with the Telescope. Not into other people's windows.

4. Mission 4 of 4

   Wrong-way look

   • Just your kit

   Turn the Telescope around and look through the big end at something across the room. Does it look bigger or smaller, closer or farther? Why might the lenses do the opposite now? Never point the Telescope at the Sun.
