Modification to consider: Try to measure the depth of the coin in varying depths of water and equivalent actual depth in air. Need a really square, possible clear plastic box of significant size. Think hard plastic decor ware circa 1980.

Notes from the lens activity on Wednesday 26 March 2008. Future improvements: more magnifying glasses, bigger magnifying glasses. More polarizing lenses. More pinhole cameras. Bigger pinhole cameras.
