Optics Learning Activities
Avantor offers a complete catalog of instruments and tools useful for demonstrating key, basic concepts of physics that are applicable to everyday life both in and out of the laboratory. Demonstrate core ideas such as acceleration down a plane, friction, potential and kinetic energy, electrical conductivity, magnetic fields, wavelengths and velocity of sound, and more. Durable educational materials are designed for heavy use with consistent levels of handling, and all models are easy to use.

Color Filter Paddles
Lessons in Optics and Light in the Palm of Your Hand Colorfully illustrate additive and subtractive color mixing, color transmission, absorption and filtering of the different wavelengths of light with this set of primary and secondary color mixing paddles. You can also use the diffraction gratings in this set to view spectra from different light sources. Show students how a spectroscope, colored lights, and even polarized sunglasses work with the contents of this set.
