    1. The document provides assembly instructions for making a mini spectrometer from a DVD-R to disperse light and view spectra. 2. To make the diffraction grating, one should cut a DVD-R into quarters, peel off the reflective layer, and trim a small square from the transparent layer. 3. The trimmed square should be attached vertically inside the spectrometer door to act as the diffraction grating and produce a horizontal spectral rainbow when light passes through.
