Lazors is an interesting App about principles in physics such as light beams and how they are reflected, bent, or broken by different materials. As a player you have discover for yourself what the aim is and how to reach it. There are many different levels.
Students can be asked to explain the game and about their reasoning in solving the problems. Thereby, the teacher can introduce vocabulary like: light wave, straight line, ray, beam, reflection of light, refraction of light (bending of light), breaking light, prism, angle of refraction, angle of reflection, mirror, glass, crystal.
A pre-designed page on Smart Notebook can help to discuss the principles and reasoning.
Practical applications:
- Stick a straw in a half filled glass of water and observe the refraction of light. This visual distortion occurs at the water-air boundary.
- The same phenomenon protects fish from a hunter who is spearfishing from the shore. Due to this bending of the path of light, a fish appears to be at a location where it isn’t. The hunter launches the spear at the location where the fish is thought to be, but isn’t, and misses the fish.
- How big needs a mirror be for you to be able to see yourself from top to toe (while standing)?
The game can be used from age 10 onwards.
