This final section will likely be used if this unit is taught at the end of the school year and there is some time left. In this section, student will explore how light makes life easier. The students in my physics class tend to be juniors and seniors, who will go on to some college and expect to be working in a few years. As a result, I will frequently discuss career options with them as it comes up in class. This project is one such opportunity. The students will research how light is used in their ideal prospective job. Light is used in some form in nearly every profession, so it should not be too difficult a task for my students to find connections to their prospective careers. After about a week of research, the students will give a presentation on their findings explaining what type of light is used, how it is used, how it makes our lives better.
