Periscope Teaching Tool

Periscope Teaching Tool

The Periscope is an engaging and practical teaching tool that demonstrates the reflective properties of light in a hands-on way. Modeled after submarine periscopes, it features a sturdy outer case with two mirrors positioned at 45-degree angles. This setup allows light to enter one end, reflect off the first mirror, and travel to the second mirror, where it reflects again and exits the device, giving students a clear, visual understanding of how light travels.

With compact dimensions of 8 inches in length and 2 inches in width and depth, the Periscope is easy to handle and perfectly suited for classroom use. Its durable design ensures it can endure frequent handling, while its lightweight build (just 0.5 pounds) makes it ideal for transporting between classrooms or even for outdoor experiments.

This tool enables students to explore light behavior, including reflection and refraction, by observing how light interacts with various surfaces and mediums like water and air. It also provides a fun way to study mirrors, optical illusions, and the science behind bending light.

The Periscope is a versatile resource that enhances science lessons on topics like light, optics, and physics. Whether for classroom experiments or outdoor learning, it offers a fun, interactive way to spark curiosity and deepen students' understanding of scientific principles.
