Hi Khalid,

I am in the pink of health.

I think you should do a spectroscope for
the fair. A spectroscope is a device that
measures the spectrum of light. Last school
holiday, I saw a picture of it online so I went
to do some research and made it! I used an
old CD to make it and it was quite easy. It’s
also a great way to recycle old CDs and
DVDs that are scratched, broken, or out of
use. Materials like paper towel roll, scissors,
pencil, cardboard, tape are also needed.
You can also paint it if you want.
Let me tell you how to make it. If you are
painting your paper towel roll, you should
do that first and let it dry. Then, use your
scissors to cut a thin slit at a 45° angle
toward the bottom of the cardboard tube.
Directly across from the slit, make a small
peephole or viewing hole. After that, Trace
one end of your paper towel roll onto your
small scrap of cardboard. Cut it out and
then cut a straight slit right across the
center of your cardboard circle. Tape the
circle to the top of your spectroscope.
Lastly, insert the CD into your 45° angled slit
with the shiny side facing up.
 Take your spectroscope outside. Point
the top slit up at the sky and look through
the peephole. Surprisingly, you will see a
rainbow inside! Khalid, do you know how
does the spectroscope work? A CD is a
mirrored surface with spiral tracks or pits.
These tracks are evenly spaced and diffract
light. Because the CD’s surface is mirrored,
the light is reflected to your eye.
 That is as much I can help you now, I
hope the fair will go well. Good luck!
