Investigating Light & Optics
Learn about light and how lenses, mirrors and prisms work.
Perform a variety of activities as you investigate light and its
properties. Learn how light travels as well as how its reflected and
refracted. The class will also investigate lights application
with optical instruments such as lenses, mirrors and prisms. In the
process, they'll explore image formation by reflection; light color
spectrum formation and dispersion and white, polarized and laser
light and their uses in industry.
Light Energy Kit
Help your students understand the properties of light energy with
this extensive kit. 18 classroom activities. Units include light
transmission, light theory, color light sources, reflection,
refraction and diffraction of light.

Reflection, Diffraction
and Reflection Kit
These hands on experiment reveal the mystery of how light travels.
Kit includes instruction for reflecting, diffracting, and refracting
light. Covers various theories of light. Includes a variety of
equipment, including translucent and opaque objects. Extensive
Teachers Guide.
Spectral Activity Kit
This classroom kits helps student observe the characteristic color
imparted to a flame from various elements. They also observe that
different elements produce different distinguishing colors. Using the
spectroscope, they compare the characteristics of different light
sources. Kit includes 24 spectroscopes, 15 handles, one 4 foot length of
wire and a bottle each of chloride, cupric chloride, cupric nitrate,
lithium chloride, potassium chloride, potassium nitrate, sodium hydrogen
carbonate, sodium chloride, strontium chloride and strontium nitrate and
Instruction and MDS included.
Light Transparencies
Illustrate the properties of light and function of lens with the set of
six transparences, complete with overlays. Use with projector.
