Ultimate Illusions

The science behind optical illusions is revealed in this kit that's packed with enjoyable activities. Young Scientists will explore symmetry with reflections, experiment with concave and convex mirrors, marvel at the changing faces on spinning cards, see the world through rainbow glasses, and much more. The two build-your-own projects--a kaleidoscope and a periscope--let youngsters continue their scientific exploration long after they've finished the other activities. The pictorial instructions are easy for children to follow, and they're accompanied by scientific explanations. Each of the activities can be completed in 10 minutes or less, making them ideal for children from age 5.
