Pizza box spectroscope

You can make a nice spectroscope using pizza box and discarded or damaged CD. There is nothing special about the pizza box except that it is one-time-use-and-throw box (after its use no one wants it really) and that it is broad but not very thick. You can use any other box.

Step 1 Open the pizza box

The pizza box that we used was 35 cm x 25cm and 2cm think. In fact you can make two spectroscopes using a box this big. We opened the box and folded it length wise and cut into two half.

I remember playing with these in earth science. I tried building one but never thought of using CDs! Brilliant!
