Product Description

The fischertechnik Class Set Optics provides multiple kits for hands-on classroom experiments. Students explore light, lenses, mirrors, and optical systems while developing STEM skills, problem-solving, and critical thinking

Learn about optical phenomena in the classroom and conduct experiments with light! Discover the concepts of umbra and penumbra, look at exciting objects under a magnifying glass, or tell the time using a sundial. These and other exciting topics are fun to learn about using the Class Set Optics. The building kit offers six models that are quick to build and easy to use in the classroom, alongside 6 exciting experiments.

A class set contains 16 individual sets and is suitable for 30 pupils and one teacher, for example.
  • One class set contains 16 individual sets
  • One class set is suitable for, for example, 30 pupils and one teacher
  • Each tray of parts can be used by 1 to 2 students at a time 
  • All 16 trays come packed with 2 study fischertechnik "Box 1000" storage units, with base lid
  • Research into optical phenomena
  • Experimenting with light
  • Models that are quick to build and therefore easy to teach

Students will be able to build 6 instructional models, including: magnifier with illumination penumbra and umbra, Ray path, gyroscope, sundial, and tablet/smartphone magnifier.

Includes access to tutorial materials with 6 different experiments.

Total 1264 components.

Age 7 and above.
