Light Box and Optic Set

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.

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.

Sample Physics Lesson Plan

Sample Refraction Lesson Plan

Optics and Lens Lesson Plan

- 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.
