can you use regular printer paper instead of transparency paper for overhead projector unit?



it’s not really thin enough for you to be able to see through it…most people use the copy paper to help section off parts of the transparent paper. you can try tracing paper maybe.

Where can I buy an overhead projector Fresnel lens online?


The dimensions do not mater much. As long as it is capable of focusing light on a specific point for a science experiment.

Lots of places sell them, in a variety of sizes. If you don’t care how big it is, most book stores sell small ones (for reading small print) and you don’t even have to go online.

But if you want to get it online, google shopping gives lots of places –
