Newton’s Colour Disc – 200mm (Hand-Wound Light Demonstration)

This engaging Newton’s Colour Disc is a classic teaching aid used to demonstrate how white light is formed from a combination of colours. Ideal for classroom demonstrations, the disc clearly illustrates colour theory and light mixing in a simple and visual way.

With an approximate diameter of 200mm, the disc is mounted on a robust base and operated using a hand-wound mechanism. When spun, the coloured segments blend together, allowing students to observe how the spectrum combines to appear white.

Suitable for KS2 and above, this durable and easy-to-use model is perfect for introducing key concepts in light and colour.
