Light Up Your Curiosity!
Students will explore the science of light and reflection as they build their own laser mazes, testing how mirrors, angles, and beams work together to create mind-bending challenges. They’ll learn about the power of light waves, refraction, and reflection through hands-on experimentation.
Hands-On Science
Students will build laser mazes using mirrors, cardboard, and small lasers, experimenting with different angles to guide their beams through complex paths. They’ll test how light reflects off different surfaces and how small changes in angle can dramatically impact the path of a laser beam.
Inquiry Driven Learning
Learners will explore how light behaves in different environments, testing their designs for maximum complexity and creativity. They’ll measure reflection angles, predict beam paths, and troubleshoot their setups to create the ultimate laser maze.
Take-Home Learning Extensions
Each student will take home a mini laser maze kit, perfect for recreating their designs at home. For a family extension, try using flashlights or colored lights to create larger-scale mazes in dark rooms or outdoor spaces.
