Curiosity trigger

The light greatly shapes our image of the world and, at the same time, determines how we function in it. During the lesson students will research the nature of light. They will: cast shadows, refract, split and disperse light. They will also extend their cognitive abilities. As a result of the exploration, the driving questions for the further project work will be created.
