The Aquafier Magnifying Lens Kit gives you a whole new way to build a one-of-a-kind magnifying glass using a few simple things: two large clear plastic fiber optic quality lenses, an oversized custom-made rubber band and WATER!
Water Works
There are tons of magnifying glasses out there, but the Aquafier is the only "kit" that lets kids make their own magnifying lens in seconds. To do so, all you must do is submerge the 3-inch lenses in a sink of water to capture the water inside. Then place the large rubber band around the outside of the lenses to hold them in place. The water in the lenses then works as a high-quality magnifier that is near glass quality and creates a near 5x (5 times) magnification!

How It Works
The Aquafier works because of something called refractive index - a simple scientific principle about magnification! The Aquafier is fun and can teach you about things like science, physics and optics, which you’ll need to learn about for school anyway!
It costs just $9.95 (plus S&H) and you can get it at www.myaquafier.com.
