Wacebo ScienceSet Optics Kit

Wacebo ScienceBus ScienceSet Optics Kit - WCBSCSOPT-N

Students can observe and analyse the foundational principles of geometric optics, investigating phenomena such as light reflection, refraction, and lens behaviour. The kit includes all essential equipment, providing a practical and engaging learning experience in the science of light.

Students will closely analyse and observe many of the fundamental principles of geometric optics by studying phenomena such as the reflection and refraction of light, the behaviour of lenses, and more. The kit includes all necessary instrumentation for these experiments.
