- A drinking glass or beaker (not bowl shaped or patterned). Take care with glass.
- Water (take care near electronics)
- A rounded wine glass (colourless glass) filled with water (take care near electronics, young children may need supervision)
- An A4 ish, white piece of card / paper and something to lean it against to give a vertical, white surface.
- A range of transparent objects (glasses / jars, lenses, dishes, anything!)
- Paper and pen
- A piece of stiff, thin card
- Scissors
- Torch (a phone torch is best, with something to prop it up against)
