Light Lab Crate

Build a kaleidoscope, bend lasers, split white light, and explore how light reflects, refracts, filters, and mixes.

STUDENTS WILL LEARN & EXPERIMENT WITH:

• Light Reflection — explore how mirrors redirect light and how kaleidoscopes create repeating patterns
  
• Light Refraction — bend laser beams using convex and concave lenses and observe how shape affects direction
  
• Light Filtering — test how colored filters change the appearance of objects and alter laser color
  
• Light Mixing — experiment with RGB and CMYK filters to see how different colors combine or cancel
  
• White Light & Spectra — use a prism to split white light into its component colors
• Creative Visual Effects — combine prisms, filters, and lenses to create photography and film effects
  
• Maker Mindset & Engineering — build a durable kaleidoscope, test different materials inside, and create custom visual patterns

Mini‑lessons are adapted for each academic level (K–12) so siblings can learn together with age‑appropriate challenges.

MORE REASONS YOU'LL LOVE THIS KIT

• Great for Groups — perfect for siblings, co‑ops, and classrooms
• Learning Material is Adapted for All Ages — from Kindergarten through high school, so siblings can learn together with the same kit!
• Students Control the Physics — kids get to build, shine, bend, split, and mix light, and learn how to do it on purpose.
• Structured Laser Activities — designed for exploration of lenses and mirrors
• Endlessly Repeatable — swap materials in the kaleidoscope, try new filter combinations, and create new effects
  
• Supports Creativity — Kids are encouraged to use what they learn from our STEM challenges in photography, filmmaking, and art projects
