Palestra sobre a Poluição Luminosa.

A poluição luminosa, ou fotopoluição, é toda a luz artificial que é excessiva, mal direcionada ou invasiva.

Estudo das propriedades das ondas: Amplitude, Período, Comprimento de Onda e Frequência.

Quando crianças, somos ensinados a pintar coisas frias a azul e coisas quentes a vermelho. Na ciência, aprendemos que as coisas azuis são realmente muito mais quentes do que as coisas vermelhas! Nesta lição, iremos aprender como objetos quentes irradiam energia, na forma de luz de várias cores, seguindo o que é chamado de curva de corpo negro.

Estudo da refração da luz ao passar de um meio mais refrangente para outro menos refrangente e vice-versa.

Beginning from an exploration of astronomical objects, this scenario explores the Universe across the electromagnetic spectrum. It finishes with students designing their own space telescopes.

Our universe started as a fog of particles, but slight variations in density allowed the formation of stars, galaxies, and the large-scale structures of the universe. In this lesson, we’ll discuss early structure formation and fast-forward to today’s stars with planets.

The Earth is warm because energy created in the core of the Sun is able to travel from the Sun’s Core to its surface, and then shine through space all the way to Earth. As it travels, the light is transformed from deadly high-energy particles to the nice warm light that keeps us alive. In this lesson, we will discuss the primary ways energy is transported: convection, conduction, and radiation.

Student Understanding of Blackbody Radiation and ItsApplication to Everyday Objects

We can’t observe how the universe formed, but scientists are still willing to say that we know the universe was created through a Big Bang. In this lesson, students will learn the three main lines of evidence for the Big Bang: the universe is expanding, the Cosmic Microwave Radiation, and the mixture of chemical elements.
