🔍 Toysmith Science Right Angle Prism: Unleash the Power of Prism in Scientific Experiments! Review

My 4 year old daughter and I couldn't get the prison to do a rainbow on the wall so it was a little disappointing for her. Then she dropped it on the tile floor and it broke the edge. Both problems are user error, but they are positioned as childish.

Even with several attempts with different viewing angles, light sources etc. I hardly got any results. We've had better results just using these cheap crystal/glass decorations (the ones your grandma used to hang on the window).

I think you get what you pay for; Don't be fooled by the number of reviews which seem to outweigh recent negative reviews (including my own). My advice (which I will do myself) is spend four or five bucks more for something better that will hopefully work

This prism works reasonably well in bright light, but it's NOT acrylic! It's hard glass! My class was pretty careful with the rug inside, but later we took it outside and it fell out of my hands. Luckily I was close to the ground when it fell and only chipped a few edges, but it could have been a lot worse! This is not a toy for children!

I knew I was buying a cheap prism. I wanted to show my grandchildren (6 and 3) how light breaks into a rainbow. It didn't work the way I had hoped. Maybe I did something wrong, so I bet 3 instead of 1. If you teach science I would recommend getting a more expensive prism for the job. Everything I tried to convey to my grandchildren was fine.
