Stand them upright and spread them apart like an open book, so that a small object can be placed between them without touching on either side. You can also study reflection using two small square glass mirrors taped together on one side. The colored objects on the other end will reflect off of the mirrors into star-shaped patterns. Now, look through the end that has the peephole and aim the kaleidoscope at a light source. Great science project for kids exploring optics and light. Tape the third side closed, then use tape to attach the envelope to the end of the kaleidoscope.Ĥ. DIY Teleidoscopes: A simple open ended kaleidoscope you can make at home. Tapered 4-Mirror Kaleidoscope: not CGI- these images are produced by mirrors and light Hidden within this colorful tube are 4 mirrors, 2 rolling glass spheres, and 1 dichroic glass reflector. Cut two triangles of a transparent substance, like a plastic overhead transparency, to fit the other end tape up two of the edges to form a three-sided envelope, and put candy sprinkles and/or bits of colored paper inside. Use a sharp pencil to poke a hole in the center of the cardboard, to serve as a peephole.ģ. Next, cut out a triangle of thin cardboard to fit one end of the kaleidoscope and tape it on. Tape the long edges of the mirrors together so that they form a pyramid shape, with the reflecting sides of the mirrors all facing inward.Ģ. All kaleidoscopes come with a refillable image disk This means you can swap out your filler any time to get the perfect look. Each kaleidoscope comes with a clear acrylic stand (assemble by peeling the protective coating and popping the 'arms' into the base).
