Newtons Colour Disc brings science to life through movement, colour and a little bit of magic with this engaging colour disc. Designed to support early science exploration, this simple yet captivating resource shows how white light may be composed from all the spectral colours when a multi-coloured disc is rotated. As the disc spins, the colours visually blend, creating a striking demonstration that sparks curiosity and wonder. The disc is 200mm in diameter and features an easy spinning belt drive system, making it simple to operate during group demonstrations or hands-on exploration.
