Week 10 – Explain Something (Make a Parascope)

Q: How do you make a toy parascope?

A: To make a toy parascope you will need a long, skinny, rectangular cardboard box, two small mirrors, tape, and scissors. First, cut a square flap on the long side of the cardboard box, near the end. Make sure the flap is tucked in. Next, take a long piece of tape and crumple it all up, and put it on the flap, then put the mirror on top. Flip the box over, and do the same on the other side, on the opposite end (not on the same end as your first flap). Now you have a toy parascope that you can use when pretending to be a spy!
