The One-Way Mirror Model is a simple kit that helps students explore how a one-way mirror works. The model consists of a cardboard box divided into two rooms by a one-way mirror. A figurine is placed in each room as an object to view in the mirror. A light source is used to turn a light in each room on and off. The light source is dimmable to allow students to vary the amount of light in each room. Students make observations by looking through the viewports on the sides of the box.
