Why is left right and right left in the mirror? Baffled by the basics of reflection and refraction? Wondering just how the eye works? If you have trouble teaching concepts about light that you don’t fully grasp yourself, the new NSTA Online Short Course: Light will help. The course addresses the topics that science teachers and parents need to know to teach about light with confidence. This is the perfect course for science teachers interested in learning more about the topic or for those who would like a refresher course.
This course is being rescheduled. Full details will be forthcoming.
