Waldorf Science Kit #18 - Patterns of Diffraction

Hands-on Experiments in Diffraction:  From disorder to order A Physics kit for the Waldorf High School — adequate for ten to twenty students This kit was developed in Kassel Germany’s teacher training courses specifically for the Physics teaching.  As with all Waldorf physics approaches, experiences lead the lessons.  The patterns of diffraction demonstrated in the appearance and analysis of corona lead the students to an understanding of the behavior of diffracted light. The Starter Kit contains: A booklet describing a series of experiments to be done by students One each of three transparencies (circles, diamonds, and drops) each showing a transition from corona to diffraction. The Class Kit contains: A booklet describing a series of experiments to be done by students Ten each of three transparencies (circles, diamonds, and drops) each showing a transition from corona to diffraction.
