Light and Laser December 5
Students in this workshop take control of the beam from a real laser to discover properties of light. They use the laser to make patterns of reflected light as they bounce it from mirror to mirror. The students observe angles of incoming and reflected light beams and, for a grand finale, use motorized mirrors to create their own laser light shows.
