Category: Energy, Light & Sound Science

9 years & up. Introduce your children to the science of light and color. Children will be amazed as they scatter rainbows all over the classroom. This prism is perfect for an interactive discussion about light, color, and refraction! Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another medium with a different density. This phenomenon occurs because light travels at different speeds in different materials. Encourage your children to ask questions about the science concepts they are unfamiliar with. Made of a durable acrylic material. Measures 4" tall.

Elizabeth N. ★★★★★

My daughter’s third-grade class went wild when we used this prism to scatter rainbows across the whiteboard. The 4-inch acrylic is just the right size for little hands to hold steady. It’s a simple, hands-on way to kick off a science lesson.

Charlotte ★★★★☆

We used this prism to show my nephew how white light breaks into color, and it worked perfectly on a sunny afternoon. The 4-inch size is just right for a small hands-on demo without being bulky. Only wish the acrylic felt a bit more durable for repeated use.

Mia ★★★★☆

Works great for creating rainbows on the wall or ceiling, and the 4-inch size is nice and solid. I just wish the edges were a bit more polished to avoid any sharp feeling spots.
