As an after-school art program, I want the children to learn while having fun in a non-pressured environment. I brought in kaleidoscopes and allowed the children to play with optics while I explained how they worked and then I discussed patterning and mirror images. We then made radial designs on paper. Once finished I handed the kaleidoscopes back out to look at the designs they had made.
I thought it was a fun activity to do, especially with the overcast, snowy days we've been having. The addition of Kaleidoscopes really amplified the experience.
