ABSTRACT
 Periscope is a instrument which is used
for seeing the objects.
 The main application of periscope is
submarines .which is used for seeing the
objects from the underwater.
RATIONALE AND CORE CONCEPTS

 How mirrors and reflection work (to use

more)
 How light travels in a straight line
 The rotation of the mirrors
 They discover the way of learning by
using and making a periscope
DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES
Starter activity:
 Firstly, I start to demonstrate how the
laser reflects at the mirrors
 There should be 90 degrees angle (and
other angles as well)
 Introduce parallel, convergent and
divergent line through the demonstration
DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES
Main activity:
 We can make a periscope using the
needed things.
 We can go through a task using the
periscope.
 e.g. looking around the corner to view a
hidden object.
3.TARGET GROUP
 A group of people can make a periscope
with out any conflicts.
 They can also make the periscope which
is useful for finding objects which cannot
be seen through naked eye in sub
marines.
MATERIAL
Creating the periscope
 Pringles tubes
 Plane mirrors
 Convex & concave mirrors
 Scissors
What is a periscope?
 A periscope lets you see over the top of
things, such as fences or walls that you aren't
tall enough to look over.You can also use it
to see around corners.
 People first started using periscopes in
submarines around the 1860s, to allow the
sailors to see above the water.
 Later, soldiers in the First World War used
them to look out of the trenches without
having to put their heads out of the trench.
 Periscopes are still used today in tanks and
some submarines.
What is a periscope?
 A simple periscope is just a long tube with a
mirror at each end.
 The mirrors are fitted into each end of the
tube at an angle of exactly 45 degrees (45°)
so that they face each other.
 In the periscope, light hits the top mirror at
45° and reflects away at the same angle.
 The light then bounces down to the bottom
mirror. When that reflected light hits the
second mirror it is reflected again at 45°,
right into your eye. You can see this in the
picture on the left.
7.DIDACTICS
What ?
 Construction of periscopes
 Cooperation
 Importance of angles of mirror
Why ?
 Applying this to the real world
(understanding the world around then)
 Understanding complex concepts by hands-
on experience
How ?
 Understand how mirrors and their
reflections work and creation of a periscope.
CONCLUSION
 Periscope is very easy to use and it is
used in many applications which has high
range of usage in ships, submarines…etc.,
