Resources required:
poster board/ cardboard, scissors, clear tape, a template for the glasses, sheets of red and blue acetate/ old copybook covers would do too.
Description of investigation:
1. Cut out the template (end page), including the eyeholes. Then, tape the sides of the glasses to the centre section. This will serve as a template for you to make your glasses. You will now trace the stencil onto the poster-board/ cardboard and cut out.
2. Cut a piece of acetate in red and in blue to go behind the eyeholes. Make sure the pieces are slightly larger than the eyeholes. Tape the acetate inside the glasses, It is important that the blue acetate goes over the right eye and the red acetate goes over the left eye.
3. Fold the two sides of the frame and stick them together with tape.
4. Find a 3 D film on YouTube and see if your glasses work!

Investigation Questions:
1. What do you think will happen?
2. Pay close attention! What is happening when you remove your 3D glasses?
3. Why the red and blue colour work?
4. Can you see 3D images with different colours? Give it a try and make different coloured lenses.
