Description

Teaching ideas for kaleidoscopes

With a bit of reverse engineering, your students can manipulate light to create the effects seen with this kaleidoscope. How?

Fold an old overhead transparency sheet into a hollow triangular prism and then insert into a cardboard tube.
Place some baking paper over one end of the tube and secure with a rubber band or sticky tape.
Place some coloured beads into a plastic bag and secure on the end of the tube that has the baking paper.
Face the tube up towards a light and look through the end… can you see similar light patterns to a kaleidoscope?
Challenge students to create a ray diagram for the path of light in a kaleidoscope.

This kaleidoscope is part of a range of science toys, kits & teaching aids for teaching about light & colour for schools and in the home. Use for engaging science at home or in the classroom!
