Will a Laser Pointer and Protractor Work Instead of a Refractometer?

I’m doing a science project on the index of refraction and I’m going to find the index of refraction of different liquids and solids. My teacher said I could use a laser pointer and a protractor to find it but I’m not sure if that’s what I should do.

You’ll need some other common stuff like paper, possibly a level, and a table to work on.. but sure.
