DIY hologram for smartphones
Posted: 12 Aug 2015, 11:45
With Science week coming up and the theme being light, I decided to check out the DIY hologram link which has been doing the rounds lately. It is so good! Very exciting when something like that works so well 
The instructions say to use an old CD case to make the rhombus. I wanted something the students could easily cut themselves, so tried an overhead transparency and it really works. As our Yr 7 & 8's have ipads, I found the size given in the instructions good for a phone but too small for the Ipad. So I found some thicker book cover plastic, which can still be easily cut with scissors, and doubled the size of the rhombus. With the room darkened it looks fantastic - all the teachers were excited so it will be one of the activities we do for our science week which we run next week. Give it a go if you're looking for something fun to do!
