That is not true with lasers. Engineers figured out how to make them long before they figured out how to use them. Now lasers are used for all sorts of tasks from scanning your groceries to performing surgery on your eyes. Let s see what we can do with them. Caution Laser pointers have always been considered to be relatively harmless. THAT IS NOT TRUE. Laser pointers are readily available at very low prices that are very dangerous. They can cause temporary or even permanent eye damage. Do not point a laser at anyone s eyes. Explore It 1 1. Put a large sheet of paper or cardboard on your table. 2. Set a small laser pointer on a clump of clay so that it is about 2 cm above a table. It should be on one side of the table pointing toward the other side. 3. Fold a note card to make a beam stop. 4. Position the beam stop so that the laser strikes it. You can keep the laser on by placing a binder clip around the laser.
