In this activity, learners create a cylindrical mirror to see themselves as others see them.

In this activity, learners build inexpensive kaleidoscopes using transparency paper and foil (instead of mirrors).

This fun activity uses simple materials such as milk cartons and mirrors to introduce the ideas of optics and visual perception.

In this optics activity, learners make a simple telescope using two lenses and a cardboard tube. Learners construct the telescope and then calculate its magnification.

This activity provides instructions for building a mirrored tube--a smaller and simpler version of a submarine's periscope--that lets you see around corners and over walls.

In this hands-on activity, learners build their own kaleidoscopes and explore how light can reflect of off surfaces such as mirrors, to produce beautiful patterns.

In this activity, learners explore how pictures change in curved mirrors. Learners make cylindrical mirrors by wrapping Mylar around soda cans.

In this activity, learners will explore light with reflective surfaces. Learners will make predictions and share their observations as they experiment with directing a beam of light.

In this activity, learners explore how mirrors reflect light and change the way we see things.

In this activity, learners make optical fibers out of strips of gelatin.
