How Light Behaves - Project-Based Inquiry Investigation Using Solar Panels
by Tim Malan
This is an introductory investigation to how light behaves in an electromagnetic spectrum unit. This is prior to any content being taught at the subject and is a way to spark inquiry and for students to co-construct knowledge together. The co-constructed topics include: light, sources, detectors, filters, reflection, refraction, wavelengths, frequency, energy and the waves connections to colors, including light beyond what we see in the electromagnetic spectrum.
