Everything
you need to conduct dozens of optical demos, labs and experiments in one
easy-to-use kit!
Performing experiments involving refraction, reflection, color, and color
mixing is a breeze with our versatile, but affordable Light Box & Optical
Set. The Complete Set
features an easy-to-use, virtually unbreakable light box and collimating
lens, plus a full set of lenses, acrylic blocks, half-round and parabolic
mirrors, slit plates, color cards, and color filters. With just this one
kit, you and your students get everything you need to:
-
Create single or multiple parallel,
convergent or divergent beams.
-
Blend up to three colors on a screen to
study color mixing.
-
Create and test complex light paths from
theoretical layouts.
-
And much, much more.
-
See below for accessories
The included instruction manual is
packed with ideas for a broad range of exciting and "illuminating"
experiments covering the requirements for practically every grade level. The
kit includes a spare 12v, 36-watt bulb and special three-part molded styrene
pack for safe, easy storage and transportation of the light box and all
accessories. A power supply capable of producing 12 volts at 3 amps is
required.
Need a power supply? Our P4-7250
Power Supply is also available as a specially priced option (see below).
Standards
There are many state and national science
standards at different levels that can be addressed using the Light Box &
Optical Set. Some examples are provided here; however, you should check with
your state to find its exact standards.
-
Light
interacts with matter by transmission (including refraction),
absorption, or scattering (including refraction). To see an object, light
from that object - either emitted by the object or scattered by it- must
enter the eye.
-
Explain
how we see colors of objects, including how different media refract,
transmit, or absorb light.
-
Investigate sources of light and how light behaves when it strikes different
objects.
