How does a periscope works?

L.I: Is to explain how a periscope works.


Mr Johnston came and taught us what periscopes are, and how they are used and who uses them. We found out that the angel of incidents = angel of reflection. That means if the light hits the mirror at a 45 degrees it reflects the light back at 45 degrees. I found this fun because I got to learn so much fun things about what a periscope does and I actually got to work one.

With my painting I used warm colors because I wanted to try go for a sun set because I thought that would look really neat with my cityscape.
