Lab Experience
Science education gives students the opportunity to gain better knowledge of how and why things function. As part of the LightDyNAmics outreach and public engagement strategy, the LightDyNAmic ESRs developed Lab Experiences for students of different ages. Through Lab Experiences, students can learn about the surrounding world and enhance their curiosity. The proposed experiences offer three different approaches to enliven chemistry and/or physics lessons.
