Principle

This experiment, which should be carried out in a completely darkened room, makes great demands on the students' ability to concentrate and observe.

Benefits

Multifunctional light box - All-in-one: Can be used for geometric optics on the table, colour mixing and on an optical bench
Extension with others sets at anytime, no additional light sources needed, recognition value for students

Tasks

What causes the phases of the moon? Investigate why the moon - as seen from the earth - has different shapes, using the earth-moon model.
