One-Way Mirror Model
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.
Also included are a standard mirror and a clear window. Using the Wireless Light and Color Sensor (not included), students can measure the amount of light reflected and transmitted by each surface and compare it to the one-way mirror. In this investigation, the light source is placed on the side of the box and the Wireless Light and Color Sensor is inserted into the viewports on the side of the box.
The One-Way Mirror Model is designed to support the lessons in Unit 6.1 of the PASCO Certified Version of OpenSciEd.
