The Deadly Science: Light and Colour Kit offers a dynamic collection of interactive materials that allow students to investigate the properties of light, the formation of colour, and the ways reflection and refraction shape what we see. Equipped with practical tools including torches, colour paddles, a Newton’s colour disc, mirrors, prisms and a range of coloured cellophane, the kit enables learners to explore key physical science ideas through hands-on experimentation. Each component has been carefully selected to deepen understanding of optical concepts and to spark curiosity, making it a valuable resource for STEM learning environments focused on light and visual science.

Educational Benefits
- Supports hands-on exploration of refraction, reflection and colour mixing through practical tools and visual demonstrations.
- Strengthens understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum and how white light separates into colours.
- Encourages prediction, observation and investigation skills central to scientific inquiry.
- Helps students connect real-world phenomena—such as rainbows, shadows and colour perception—with classroom learning.
Classroom Ideas
- Use the torches, prisms and colour paddles to demonstrate splitting light into a spectrum.
- Create coloured shadow experiments using cellophane and multiple light sources.
- Investigate how mirrors redirect light beams to understand reflection and angles.
- Rotate students through small-group activities involving colour mixing, Newton’s colour disc and prism experiments.
Safety & Information
- Ages: Suitable for primary and lower secondary students under teacher supervision.
- Measurements: Includes a 50 × 75 mm mirror, 750 mm × 1 m cellophane sheets, and a 7-piece prism set.
- Safety: Avoid shining torches directly into eyes; handle mirrors and prisms carefully; keep small items away from very young children; ensure materials are stored safely after use.
