Periscope Procedure

The document provides instructions for making a simple periscope using two mirrors and two cardboard tubes. The instructions are: 1) Obtain two identical flat mirrors and two cardboard tubes wide enough to hold the mirrors. 2) Cut holes in opposite ends of each tube sized to fit the mirrors. 3) Adhere one mirror inside each tube facing the holes so that light passes through one hole, reflects off the mirror inside, and exits the opposite hole. 4) Glue the mirrors securely inside the tubes to keep them steady when viewing through the periscope.

Procedure In Making Periscope

1. Find two small mirrors the wih same size. You can use any flat mirrors, whether
the it is rectangular, round, or some other shapes.

2. Find two empty cartons, it should be wide enough to fit your mirrors. You could
use a large, flat sheet of sturdy cardboard. fold it to 4 parts and form a rectangular
box and put a glue or strong tape each end to form desired shape.

3. Cut a hole on one side just big enough for a mirror. Place one of the mirrors on
one of the vertical sides of the carton. draw a square on the side of the board where
in the mirror will be put in. Use cutter to trace and cut the drawed box.

5. Insert a mirror facing the hole. Use sticky putty or tape to attach the mirror you
traced onto the inside wall of the carton, across from the hole you cut. Arrange the
mirror so the whole surface can be seen when you look through the hole, but have it
point downward toward the opposite end.

6. Cut a hole at the other end, facing the opposite direction. To find out where to
cut, place the carton in front of you on its short end, with the first hole you cut near
the top. Rotate the carton so that hole is on the opposite side. The second hole will
go on the side that is now facing you, right at the bottom of this side. Trace the
second mirror and cut as you did before.

7. Insert the second mirror facing the second hole. Just like the first mirror, this
should be visible from the hole, and should face the other end of the carton. One
mirror will reflect light directly down through the periscope, and the second will
reflect it directly through the hole and into your eye. You will see this reflected light
as an image of whatever is on the opposite hole of your periscope.

8.Attach the mirrors permanently. If putty or tape them with glue. Tape isn't enough
to keep mirror steady. It's better to attach using with glue
