This is actually good because it serves as a warning sign of going off-track 
;-).  Lasting learning outcomes come out of using locally available materials 
for experiments - like fashioning a magnifier by filling a discarded tungsten 
lamp with clear water or making one out of clean sheet of plastic etc.

How about taking a couple of lenses or jeweller's eyepieces and then using 
digicam or cameraphone (with macro feature)? The combo is harder to get 
working but such hard fun should be part of learning.
