“If at the beginning I wasn’t sure how much of the new knowledge in the optics box would stick with the children, then in the AHHAA science theatre, where the theme was optics, the children shone with their knowledge.”

-Henry Jakobson, A Mida Henry Teeb?

The importance of vision cannot be overestimated. It is through vision that we orient ourselves in the world around us, enjoy experiences ranging from appetising food to fine art, recognise people dear to us, and even read this text.

How does vision physically work?

Light reflection is the basis of everything. Sight always works in the same way: there must always be a light source somewhere, and the light emitted by this source is reflected back to our eyes. The fact that physics works in the same way everywhere, all the time, is one of the most fascinating things about physics.

But how do mirrors or kaleidoscopes work? How are illusions or rainbows created?

The Optics Activity Box helps us to understand the mysteries and laws of light.

"The child was able to act independently. It was also interesting for us as parents and we did some of the experiments together."

"The activity box is a great gift for a child interested in the world to enrich their knowledge. The activities involve the whole family, especially if you have a younger child. We are very happy Praktikal has come into our lives :)"

"The instructions were clear and all the tests were successful the first time."

"Creating a colour image on the screen still surprises me every time."

Experiment equipment

The Optics Activity Box contains everything you need to study light phenomena, including a light source, lenses, screens, glasses, clamps, a laser, and mirrors.
