Review on Enhanced Eisco Labs Light Box Covering by Chris Moody

This is a good under $70 set with some caveats. Pros: Good range of lenses and they are opaque enough for students to see rays of light coming through the lens and entering and exiting. Mixing the colors of the light is acceptable, just enough for students to see the general idea. The beam part of the box works well. Comes with a good selection of color slides. High education costs. My students could not only see what is happening in the lenses, but also experiment with different combinations of lenses. high quality, it was harder for the student to see the focus on it than on my older set. The wires interfere when connected to the top. even in pdf format. Finally, I circled the lenses to create sheets that the students could use to report results and investigate myopia/farsightedness issues. I also made some worksheets with "empty" points for the lenses and ray tracing, so they had to figure out what lenses to use to bend the light like this. I gave them a pre-test after reading about ray tracing. and then again to the lab. The laboratory has changed understanding.
