How to make a kaleidoscope!

Hey guys!!!
I know long time since my last post.....but this time I'll show you how to make your very own kaleidoscope...i thought it was really hard but its really easy!!!!

Material Required:

1. 3 mirrors of the same size
2. beads/broken glass pieces
3. transparent sheet
4. butter paper
5. cardboard/foil roll
6. tape
7. scissors

STEP 1: Join all the three mirrors together with tape in the shape of a triangle (at 60 degree angles). Where all the mirrors face inwards.

STEP 2: Cover both the ends with transparent paper.

STEP 3: Put the beads or colored pieces of glass on one side (on top of the sheet)

STEP 4: Cover the side you put the beads on with butter paper. (leave some space so that the beads are able to move)

STEP 5: Since the glass is fragile cover it with cardboard (from outside). Make designs on the cardboard to make your kaleidoscope look stylish.

Voila! You are done. Now look into your kaleidoscope to see beautiful patterns. keep on rotating the kaleidoscope, the patterns will keep changing...

A Natural Indicator: Turmeric

We had this holiday homework to make a New Year card using Turmeric indicator...I accidentally submitted the card without clicking a pic..so you won't get to see how awesome it was but I'll tell you how i made it....

We require Turmeric and Rubbing Alcohol ( Nail polish remover) to make the paste.

 After making a paste out of these,  by mixing them together (don't make it tooo thick) spread the paste on normal, thin paper.

 Cut the paper into strips and now use your indicator.

Try using soap solution...

The strip turns red when it comes in contact with a base (i.e the soap solution)

Now test using an acid....such as Vinegar....

If you use a new strip then the colur remain the same.....and If you use the used strip that is red because you tested it with a base the red turns back to yellow....

If i get my card back I will upload a picture of it!!

Pepper and Soap..Definitely not best friends!!!

A very common experiment this is, But definitely not as lame as the other one...

YOU WILL REQUIRE:

A bowl full of water (choose one with a larger surface area)

2. Black Pepper


3. Soap

STEP 1: Add pepper to the bowl full of water.

STEP 2: Put your finger in....Nothing happens

            

 Now put your finger dipped in soap (or you can just add soap)

SEE THE MAGIC!

Well of course it isn't magic it;s SCIENCE!

It's not that the soap repels the pepper , but rather soap that readily breaks the high surface tension of water.The soap causes a break in surface tension making the surrounding water molecules to move away.
