step1--1.For each kaleidoscope, remove the protective film from the faces of three mirrors.
step2--2.Gather the mirrors in your hands, long edges together.
3.Gently and carefully fold the mirrors into a triangle, shiny sides in.
4.Line up the corners to form an equilateral triangle.
5.Wind transparent tape around the triangle, approximately 1/2 inch from each end. Studentsmay want to work in pairs for this, one student to hold the mirrors and another student to wind the tape. When securely and neatly taped, the mirror triangle will not wobble.
6.Remove the backing from a piece of weather stripping and place it on one side of the triangle,approximately one inch from one end.7.Add two more pieces of weather stripping, one to each empty side of the triangle. The three pieces of weather stripping should present a uniform appearance when placed correctly.
8.Insert the mirrors, weather stripping down, into the PVC tube.
9.Compress the weather stripping slightly to make it fit.
10.Insert a one-inch piece of foam cord into the empty place between two points of the triangle.
11.Insert two more pieces into the remaining spaces in exactly the same manner.
12.Place the PVC end cap onto the PVC tube.13.The PVC end cap will fit the tube tightly, so hit the end cap with the flat of your hand to be sure the end cap is completely on the tube.14.Add the self-stick label. Your kaleidoscope hasno colors in it, but reflects the world via the mirrors, so we call it a WorldView Kaleidoscope.
15.Enjoy the view.
