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.

Moons of the Solar System
May 7
In the LHS
planetarium, students observe the changing
moon and find out what causes moon phases by acting out
the motions of Earth and its moon in the light of a simulated
sun. They monitor and record the behavior of Jupiter's
four moons, and take a tour of some of the dozens of
moons in our solar system.
