Designed with classroom trials and teacher input
-
Hands-free operation
The on-off toggle switch frees up a hand while teaching and it's recessed to prevent accidental turn-on before it's pointed where you want it.
-
Secure on any surface
Flat sides and strong magnets prevent rolling on the table and let you stick it to the white board so you can study rays with precision.
-
View the beam path
Just insert the included lens to redirect the beam to the surface for easy viewing of ray trace geometry.
LASER Blox: Flexible, Visible, Durable Classroom Laser Light Sources
Not just a laser pointer
Stackable magnetic housing lets you form a ray box with any combination of wavelengths. Set them on the table or stick to the whiteboard so the whole classroom can see.
Bend light to your will
Narrow laser beams let you see first-hand how light interacts with surfaces - and measure it precisely. Confirm Snell's Law, learn how glasses work, and study optic design all with one classroom laser education system.
Lessons included
We've designed over a dozen lessons downloads for LaserBlox complete with printable student worksheets for hours of hands-on learning.
What are "Super Safe" laser pointers?
Our Class II (<1 mW) laser pointers (our "Super Safe" line) are preferred by schools and teachers, especially when kids will be handling them. These are considered safe by the FDA as long as they are not pointed directly in the retina for prolonged periods of time.
Are 5 mW lasers safe for kids?
Class IIIA laser pointers (<5 mW rating) should normally be handled by adults. They can damage a person's retina if pointed directly at the eye for many seconds to minutes, but our natural "look away" reflex usually prevents any damage by keeping exposure short.
Which color is the best?
Green is the most visible, red is the safest around kids, and violet lets you experiment with fluorescent materials. They each have their use, so consider getting one of each!
Which is best for learning about lasers?
We recommend our LaserBlox, which are specially designed for classroom demonstrations and experiments. They won't roll, can be stuck on a white board, and can be stacked magnetically for ray experiments.
