Nature's Wonders: Does Light Move Like a Wave or Particle?

Light shines through our atmosphere from the sun. It warms us and helps plants grow. But, what is it? How does it move through the air? In this one-time class we will be looking at these two questions and others. We’ll try to understand how light behaves - does it travel like a wave in the Pacific ocean or like a bouncing ball. We will explore what electromagnetism is, how electromagnetic radiation was discovered, and how the sun creates light. 

We’ll discover:
❈ What is electromagnetic radiation
❈ Some history on the discovery of electromagnetic radiation
❈ How electricity and magnetism interact
❈ How light behaves

This class puts forth physics subjects in an interesting and insightful way that will engage all learners sparking an increased interest of the concepts presented. 

During class a slideshow will be  presented to highlight the material being covered along with the opportunity for each learner to share their knowledge and/or discuss this topic. No prior knowledge is needed to join this class. All learners are welcome to come and explore how one of nature’s wonders - light - travels through the air!
