The Physics of Street Light
by SREEVELMURUGAN VAMADEVAN
In this lesson, students will explore the key physics principles that govern the design and operation of street lighting systems. Through a hands-on engineering design challenge, students will apply their understanding of optics, electricity, and thermodynamics to create a model street light that effectively and efficiently illuminates a designated area. This lesson is designed to be completed over the course of 3-4 class periods, depending on the depth of exploration and the complexity of the engineering design challenge.
