Teams of students are challenged to direct a laser beam through a wooden maze using mirrors. The session begins with the review of concepts of angles through work with protractors. Students hypothesize about how light reflects from a surface, and derive that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Students begin by experimenting with using mirrors to hit a bull’s-eye with laser light. Using this knowledge, they first model and then implement the path of the laser light through the different mazes.
