Radical Reflections
Alanna makes a kaleidoscope using mirrors and angles. This episode is about rotational symmetry and the principles of reflection and explains why kaleidoscopes are typically constructed with 3 mirrors configured as an equilateral triangular prism to create an image that repeats one triangular pattern continuously, filling the field of view.

All of the Above
Four inner-city students decide to build the world's largest tetrahedron. The story is told through many characters in the story. The four students are Sharice, James, Rhondell and Marcel. The connector between the students and the community is Mr. Collins, the teacher, who had the idea for the tetrahedron project.
The story is based on a true event. In 2002, four students in Cleveland, Ohio built the world's largest tetrahedron, using 16,384 tetrahedrons. At the end of the book is an author's note on the project and a reader's guide.

A Cute Look at Angles
Uncle Norm experiments with angles and speed for his toy cars, but he needs a ramp. An architect teaches the Rads about angles and how slope can affect the way a ramp works. They talk about triangles, and how different angles can change the speed of the cars. Different types of angles (acute, obtuse and right) are discussed. The emphasis is on the right angle, right triangle and equilateral triangle and how they have been used in architecture and design through the ages.
