Hi Tanvi!
It is very easy to make a simple triangular
kaleidoscope Using three similar rectangular plane mirror pieces,
we can make a kaleidoscope Arrange the mirrors with their
reflecting surfaces facing inward, with 60o Now tape the
triangular mirror prism firmly with packing tape Insert the whole
assembly into a PVC pipe, which is just big enough to accommodate
the prism Place a piece of transparent plastic sheet at one end of
the PVC pipe and glue it Cut a piece of thermocol to place at the
other end of the PVC pipe Make a hole at the center of the
thermocol, big enough to put some beads Now put some coloured beads
or bangle pieces into the kaleidoscope See the beautiful pattern
inside the kaleidoscope Shake the kaleidoscope gently to change the
pattern
Cheers!!
