Dear
Thanks to the information submitted by you a few months ago we in Chile
(Latin America), we organized a series of activities around "light year".
For this the most important organization of scientific education in our
country has undertaken several activities around this topic. (
http://www.explora.cl/conocer-ilumina)

The reason for this email is to ask your help in one of these activities,
We need different educational experiments related to the light, that can be
performed at home or in schools with affordable materials.

Any ideas will be very grateful
from already thank you very much
best regards
Jorge

many thanks for all your contributions are of great help answer them one to
one thoughtful comments

1- "foldscope" is an excellent idea, however you still can not buy or
manufacture it at home so it is difficult to apply.

2  an example of activity is something suggested in this forum a while back
ago, lenses constructed from salt crystals, very entertaining and
educational

2-. We should complete this in the end of this month (APRIL 30), for
graphic design and all equipment associated

3-. a book of activities is excellent, the language is no problem, here we
have people who can help us so welcome , I will write to the contact
Suggested thank you very much again.

Thanks again to all of you will write personally to contacts suggested. and
any additional ideas are welcome.

greetings to all

Dear Jorge,

There are dozens of experiments!
1. Angle of  incidence = angle of reflection using a pinhole in a
piece of card placed over a flashlight to see the beam (using a
little chalk dust on an eraser to accentuate), bounced off a
mirror    Also, discuss specular vs. diffuse reflection using a
smooth pond vs. a wavy pond
2. Polarization on reflection using a lens from a polarizing sunglass
and looking at the reflection from water "sitting up" versus "lying
on your side"  (Polarized sun glasses only work when you are
vertical... always surprising to students).  Also, how polarized
light "removes" surface reflection
3. Refraction using a glass stirring rod in a glass of water
(interesting follow-up question:  if you are standing in a river and
trying to catch a fish which is about to swim through your legs,
where would you reach to catch the fish?)
4. "Red resists refraction" (basis for rainbows) using a simple prism
5. Double refraction of minerals using a simple calcite crystal
placed on writing on a paper
6. Diffraction, Constructive and Destructive interference looking at
a light source (lamp) through very narrow slits between your fingers)
7.  Stress/strain patterns in nearly all molded plastic pieces (look
at them between crossed polars, such as 2 lenses from polarized sunglasses)
9. Refractive index: "Disappearing" glass - put a glass or plastic
stirring rod (refractive index ~1.5) into a glass of silicon oil
(refractive index 1.5)  (refractive index of air is 1.0).  Great for
discussing why we "see" things (differences in refractive index)
10. Looking at a fried egg with different colored filters (egg yolk
will "disappear" with red and, often, green filters; will appear
black with blue filter.. great for discussing what filters are and
why we see the colors we do)
11. Whole series of experiments with simple hand lens... (a)  Find
the focal point (b)  Front and back focal planes (c)  4 cases of
lenses using your finger as the object (placed inside the focal
point, at the focal point, beyond the focal point and, via
discussion, a very long distance from the focal point) [this one is
great fun because their fingers appear upright and magnified INSIDE
the focal point; disappear AT the focal point; and flip upside down
OUTSIDE of the focal point... and you can say "at no time did your
finger leave your hand" .. which always makes students laugh] (d)
Real versus virtual images.
12.  How a drop of water can act as a lens (lessons: refractive
index; image formation, Leuwenhook's early microscopes - which used a
glass bead as a lens)
13.  Use a simple black light to discuss fluorescence.  (An
interesting experiment is to use grass or a leaf which appears green
in sunlight but fluoresces red.  Grass, leaves, etc. are always
fluorescing red, but we never see it... ask them why not?)

Any simple microscope is also an amazing lesson in optics.  Focus on
a simple stained specimen then remove the eyepiece.  Discuss
"conjugate optical planes" and the two sets of planes that exist in
the microscope;  the one that carries the illumination information
(and the Fourier transform of the image... another great experiment,
which can be demonstrated using a simple grating as a specimen) and
the other that carries the image information.  Also can demonstrate
that "Blue resists Diffraction" ... basis for why shorter wavelengths
produce higher resolution images).
Once they understand conjugate focal planes, "play" with light by
opening the aperture iris (condenser) sliding a piece of card stock
flat across the bottom of the condenser to create oblique
illumination;  Use a simple darkfield patch stop (you can even make
them using India ink on a piece of plastic like an overhead foil) to
create darkfield;  Create Rheinberg illlumination used a colored
patch stop.  You can demonstrate the physics by removing the sample,
dropping the stage, rotating the objective out of the way and using
either a piece of card stock standing vertically on the stage or a
piece of plastic (like screwdriver handle stock) on a glass slide and
watch what happens to the beam when you (a) open and close the
aperture iris (condenser) (b)open and close the field iris;
(c)  create oblique illumination (d) create darkfield
illumination.   Then there are a whole series of discussion you can
get into relating to numerical aperture, resolution, etc.


I hope that these are helpful.  "Playing with Light" has always been
a joy for me.  I hope you are able to share that with the people in
your program.

Good hunting!

Dear Jorge/Peng,

I am a faculty at Stanford; and my lab created Foldscope. In our first phase; we have
shipped 50,000 units so far; to almost everyone who directly applied on time for the first
round of the program. You can follow what the community is doing at
http://microcosmos.foldscope.com.

We will soon be launching the second phase of the project - but in the mean time; you can
write to me directly about your activities in Chile and we can send you some units directly.

Around summer; we will be making instruments available more broadly. We are trying to
create a structure where people who can afford can for people who can not. Please stay in
touch or follow our blog at www.foldscope.com.

Cheers
Manu

Dear Jorge,
    Here is a list of the other options I can think of:
1. to construct a spectrometer with DVD disk+webcam. You can find many
relevant materials from google, such as
http://sci-toys.com/scitoys/scitoys/light/cd_spectroscope/spectroscope.html
2. to demonstrate the polarization character of light with the polarizing
films from a 3D goggle (usually very cheap);
3. to illustrate the principle of confocal by disassembling a CD/DVD driver;
4. to demonstrate the function of an optical mouse (LED+objective+CMOS+DSP
image correlation process) with different substrates such as glass, mirror,
or highly glossy paper.
    Look forward to the success of your project!
Peng

Dear again many thanks
  "It is better to have friends than money" is really true, is an
incredible community and the help they give is amazing.
Dear Peng, activities you mention are actually very good, is exactly the
kind of experiments that we wished to find, thank you very much again.
(there are some in which I have some doubts, so we will write directly)

Dear Manu, Foldscope for me is beautiful, has everything expected of
science in general, is very creative, economic, technological, and highly
useful in the service of society, would be a pleasure for us to have some
of these wonders in Chile and use in exhibitions.
I will contact you
Thanks again to all
greetings

Jello lenses and laser pointers are always fun! With a long, thin strip of Jello and a good laser pointer, you can even demonstrate TIRF.

You can also measure the width of your hair by taping it across a laser pointer and measuring the diffraction pattern that it produces.

If this is the type of thing you are interested in doing, let me know. I have lots of these quick, easy examples that I use for my class. If these are of interest, you can contact me directly and I can send you some additional info!

Good luck with your program!!

Check out the old book "Light and color in the outdoors" by Minnaert. He
describes many effects that one can see almost any time but no one does

I would like to thank and answer indications one to one who sent me:

Terry Bruce
Gelatin lenses, super crazy, is excellent idea thank you very much, try to
replicate this first and you certainly write for more of these ideas.
Barbara Foster
thanks for this great number of activities actually surpassed the
expectations we had now we start playing with light and select the most
fun, I hope to write you personally during this month to ask you about some
of them, thanks!
Michael Model,
just bought the book and is excellent, a gem, thank you very much for the
recommendation
Manu Pakash
Thanks again for your generosity in sending "Foldscope" really this
technology will be a great experience for our educational activities

information and those who wrote me directly to tell me specific
information, Peng Xi (Peking University, Beijing, China), Buffy Fox (
http://SPIE.org), Eric R. King (laserinnovations.com).
