Product Description
The Periscope Model by Ankidyne is an interactive STEM teaching aid designed to demonstrate the reflection of light using two plane mirrors positioned at 45 angles. This optical device helps students understand how light changes direction through multiple reflections, allowing them to view objects that are not in the direct line of sight.
Ideal for Class 58 students (Ages 1014), this educational model makes learning optics engaging through practical demonstrations. It is widely used in schools, science laboratories, STEM learning centers, and science exhibitions to explain the principles of reflection and the real-world applications of periscopes in submarines, tanks, and observation systems.
Engage Students with Interactive ScienceThis periscope model brings the principles of reflection and optics to life, making science demonstrations captivating for school children. Its transparent operation allows for hands-on participation, enhancing classroom discussions and practical learning in STEM subjects. The periscope helps foster curiosity through direct observation and experimentation.
Ready to Use, Safe, and DurableNo assembly is required-the periscope arrives fully constructed with securely fitted, highly polished mirrors. Crafted from durable plastic with a non-toxic, smooth finish, it ensures complete safety for young users. Child-friendly design includes rounded edges and sturdy construction for frequent classroom handling.
Portable and Practical DesignWeighing very little and measuring approximately 20 cm in length, this periscope is easy to transport between classrooms or activity stations. The bright red-and-black color scheme makes it easy to spot and retrieve, while the triangular end caps support precise operation every time.
FAQ's of Periscope Model:
Q: How does the periscope model work in classroom experiments?
