Accurate, Easy-to-Use Simulations
Using a high-powered laser-table simulator built on mathematical modeling
technology, students can safely and accurately observe and investigate the
behavior of rays, the properties of reflection and refraction, and the
colors of light.

Exploratory Virtual Tool
"Hands-on" learning is a great way to teach science! Using the tools available
in the Virtual Laboratory, students can readily expand on the worksheet
labs to create their own experiments.

Scientific Skills Development
Students build and practice thinking skills—observation, prediction,
deductive reasoning, conceptual modeling, theory building, and hypothesis
testing—as they experiment with the properties of light.

Virtual Manipulatives®
By manipulating lenses, mirrors, prisms, filters, mixers, splitters, and
light-absorbing barriers to interact with laser beams, students can clearly
see the abstract concepts of reflection, refraction, and color mixing in action.

Multimedia Reference Materials
Quick-reference pullouts, an interactive Sci-Clopedia, and over 50 World Book™
Encyclopedia articles allow students to expand their inquiries, investigate
related topics, and gather ideas for further explorations of light.
