Question: Describe the construction of a kaleidoscope?
A kaleidoscope is an optical toy that creates beautiful patterns by reflecting light from colorful objects. To make a kaleidoscope, you need to follow these steps:
- Cut three pieces of mirrored perspex or acrylic mirror and tape them together to form a triangular prism. This will be the core of your kaleidoscope.
- Cut a cardboard tube, such as a paper towel roll, to fit the length of the prism. Slide the prism inside the tube and secure it with tape.
- Cut a circle of black paper or plastic and poke a small hole in the center. This will be your peephole. Tape it over one end of the tube.
- Cut a square of clear plastic, such as a report cover or plastic wrap, and place it over the other end of the tube. Push it down slightly to create a pouch for the colorful objects.
- Fill the pouch with beads, sequins, confetti, or anything small and shiny. You can also use pieces of glass or plastic in different shapes and colors.
- Seal the pouch with another square of clear plastic and tape it to the tube. You can decorate the tube with paper, stickers, glitter, or anything you like.
