Syllabus
Week One: Perception
To understand light, we must understand how our eyes and brainperceive and make sense of it. We’ll look at illusions that illuminate how theeye and the brain use light to construct models of the natural world.
WeekTwo: Optics
Make images using lenses and mirrors, and do a deep dive into the fascinating world of optics.
Week Three: What is light? A historical tour
Explore the nature of light by doingsimple modern versions of classical experiments following light from particleto wave to quantum object.
Week Four: The wave nature of light
Explore the modern view oflight: see light as a wave and as a photon.

The Exploratorium is a twenty-first-century learning laboratory, an eye-opening, always-changing, playful place to explore and tinker. For more than forty years, we’ve built creative, thought-provoking exhibits, tools, programs, and experiences that ignite curiosity, encourage exploration, and lead to profound learning. We use the same tools and approaches to design compelling professional development programs for teachers ranging from novice to expert, elementary to high school, and formal and informal, in fields of science, math, and engineering. To date the Exploratorium has provided in-depth, multi-year programming to thousands of educators from over 450 school districts in 47 states and in many different countries.
