Reflections of Light
Have you ever really looked
into a mirror and studied what
you really see? When you lift
your right hand, what happens?
When you reach for the mirror,
what do you notice? This kit
studies the Laws of Reflection
through diagramming and
simple measurement. The kit
meets national standards in a
fun way while studying some
of the basic laws of physics.
Kit includes cardboard bases,
protractors, metric rulers, plane
mirrors, straight pins, pencils,
paper, student manuals, and
an instructor’s manual. For 12
students in six groups of two
students each. Grades 9-12. Sh.
wt. 15 lbs.

Light Box
Use to perform experiments in reflection, refraction, and
colour mixing. The box has hinged sides with mirrors
used for mixing colours and rays of light. An adjustable
lens in the box is used to produce divergent, convergent,
or parallel rays of light. The light box has grooves to
accept slit plates or colour filters. Comes complete with
eight acrylic plastic blocks (one rectangular, one semicircular,
one double concave, one equilateral 60 x 60 x
60 degrees, two right angle 90 x 60 x 30 degrees and 90
