Geometric Optics Lens Kit for Physics Experiments

Hands-On Geometric Optics for Clear, Visual Learning

Bring core physics concepts to life with this Geometric Optics Experiment Set. Designed for classroom demonstrations, homeschool labs, and guided at‑home exploration, this kit lets learners see exactly how light travels, bends, and reflects using real lenses, prisms, and mirrors. It is suitable for supervised use with children aged 6+ and offers a structured way to move from basic light behavior to more advanced optical principles.

The set includes a complete selection of acrylic lenses and optical elements: three biconvex lenses, one biconcave lens, one plano‑convex lens, one plano‑concave lens, one rectangular lens, one triangular prism, and a multifunctional reflector with four different reflective surfaces. A three‑way light source projects clear, narrow beams that make refraction and reflection paths easy to trace on a tabletop or screen. Each lens measures approximately 60 × 20 × 6 mm, sized for easy handling by students while still large enough for clear observation of light paths.

The multifunctional reflector provides flat, curved, and rough reflective surfaces so learners can compare regular reflection, curved mirror behavior, and diffuse reflection side by side. With this kit, students can conduct a full sequence of experiments, including straight‑line light travel, refraction through different lenses, prism dispersion, and reflections from flat, concave, and convex mirrors. The acrylic construction is durable and classroom‑friendly, and the three‑way light source is powered by 2 × AAA batteries (not included) for flexible use at a desk, lab bench, or demonstration table.

Why It's a Smart Choice

• Supports multiple curriculum topics in optics, including refraction, reflection, image formation, and prism behavior, using one coordinated set.
• Clear, visible light beams and standardized lens sizes make demonstrations easy to follow for groups of students and individual learners.
• Encourages inquiry‑based learning, as students can design their own experiments and directly test ideas about how light behaves.

FAQ

Q: What experiments can be done with this kit?
A: The kit supports experiments on straight‑line light travel, refraction through convex and concave lenses, prism refraction, flat mirror reflection, diffuse reflection, and reflection from concave and convex mirror surfaces.

Q: What ages is this suitable for?
A: It is suitable for children aged 6 and above, but it must be used under adult supervision. Children should not operate the light source or conduct experiments alone.

Q: Does the light source include batteries?
A: No. For shipping safety, batteries are not included. The three‑way light source requires 2 × AAA batteries, which should be prepared separately.

Q: What material are the lenses made from?
A: All lenses and the rectangular and triangular elements are made from acrylic plastic, which is impact‑resistant and suitable for repeated classroom use.

Q: Is it appropriate for school laboratories?
A: Yes. The kit is designed for physics and general science teaching, making it suitable for primary and middle school labs, homeschool environments, and guided science clubs.
