Holograms

Today Mrs Taylor came into class really excited to show us a new thing that she learned. She had her phone with a 3D video and a plastic pyramid with the top cut off. It was very odd. We talked about it and what might happen with these two things. Then we predicted what might happen, then once we had written our prediction we got to see exactly what happened. Here is some of our writing. 

Matthew:

Before: I think if you put the plastic onto the phone the hologram will change colour on the phone screen. 

After: I saw a hologram. It was the pictures reflecting onto the cone. 

Piper: 

Before: Mrs Taylor has a plastic pyramid thing with a hole in the top. If it gets mixed with a video of the 4 pictures doing the same thing. I think it might make more of the pictures on the phone. 

After: The pictures on the phone were reflected onto the pyramid and made a hologram in the middle of the pyramid. 

Xavier: 

Before: I think when Mrs Taylor puts the funny plastic thing on the screen the four pictures will turn into one picture. 

After: The picture reflected onto the plastic from the phone screen. We could see it through the sides of the plastic and it made one picture that moved in the middle of the plastic cone.
