This is a Virtual
Workshop on Light. The following pages will guide you through
a series of hands-on activities on this interesting (and pretty!)
subject.
In addition to these pages, you will need a copy of the Light manual,
and a kit of materials (lenses and mirrors) so that you can do the
activities. Please note that it is very much our idea that you will
learn science by doing science. If you don't have the manual and materials,
please see our web page.
Any comments you have on presentation, philosophy, practicality
will be most welcome
and appreciated. Joe Straley & Sally Shafer
Contents Here are the main divisions of our presentation. We suggest you work
through this in the order given. However, some of this
(sections labelled Science Content: ...) is stuff
for you to
read (best done individually), while some is activities for you to do
(best done in a small group) -- you can jump around on the menu if
it makes sense for your schedules.
