Description

The DIY kaleidoscope lesson is designed for elementary students and fits STEM subjects, especially science and engineering, as they learn how light and reflections work. Students build a simple kaleidoscope using materials like mirrors, beads, and a tube to see how light bouncing between mirrors creates changing patterns, helping them understand reflection, symmetry, and basic optics through hands-on learning.
