== Demonstration == # Set the large polarizer in front of the light source. Set out the other polarizers and the corn syrup. # As students come up, have them first hold one of the small polarizers and look through them at the ceiling lights. Do they see anything happening? # Have students hold the small polarizers in front of the large one, and spin them. What do they see happening? Do they have any ideas for why? # Let students try using the cut polarizers, and also try using the corn syrup inbetween the large polarizer and a small polarizer. What do they see happening? Why might that be?
