PocketLab Light Kit
The Light Kit is a simple but engaging way to investigate light through hands-on activities designed for middle school and high school students. The lesson materials work with PocketLab Voyager, PocketLab Weather, and PocketLab Air. You can also use the kit without a PocketLab device for qualitative labs.
What's Included?
- 2 Linear polarized filters
- 3 Colored transparent filters (red, green, blue)
- Detailed lessons and instructions through the PocketLab Notebook
Alignment to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
NGSS MS-PS4-2 - Waves and their Applications
Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.
NGSS HS-PS4-3 - Waves and their Applications
Evaluate the claims, evidence, and reasoning behind the idea that electromagnetic radiation can be described either by a wave model or a particle model, and that for some situations one model is more useful than the other.
Real Data, Not Simulations
Every activity involves real-world data collection of physical phenomenon so your students can learn hands-on.
Backed by Research
Lessons were developed in projects with the Department of Education Institute of Educational Sciences and the National Science Foundation SBIR program
