About This Product
Students set the mirrors to an angle on the scale, put a small coloured shape between them and count the images, then repeat at other angles and look for the pattern. The activity connects the laws of reflection with geometry and symmetry, and works for both teacher demonstrations and student practicals. Laboratories and colleges in Syria, Libya, United States, Italy, Turkmenistan and Costa Rica can buy the Multiple Reflection Model STEM Lab through an export order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Multiple Reflection Model show?
How plane mirrors set at an angle form several images of one object, and how the number of images changes as the angle between the mirrors changes.
