3D Glasses (6th Grade)

Good evening!

Pupils of 6th Grade created our own 3D glasses as a Science project.

What we needed:

  • A 3D glasses template (downloaded from Internet)
  • A piece of card stock
  • Red and blue cellophane
  • Scissors
  • Glue stick

Remember that the blue cellophane goes on the right eye.

It was easy and we all enjoyed watching 3D books and films.







This type of 3D glasses can be used for watching specially designed images called Anaglyphs.
So, we decided to create our Anaglyph images:






And this was our last Science Project this year. Good job, kids!
