Hello there, I just wanted to share my Friday with all the laser enthusiasts out there.
First of all I am an English teacher (with a background in Fine arts and digital imaging in Secondary Education. btw, I have also taught Physics, Chemistry and lots of other subjects)
teaching at a small girls private school on the outskirts of Eastern Seoul.
I was informed last week that our school would hold a science day with all pretty much the same demos as years previous. I decided to take action and bring my 150mW Blu-ray pen and demo on a few different materials.
ALL safety precautions were taken.
My experiments consisted of the following.
1) Sodium Fluorescine in aq solution - Absorption - Fluorescence
2) Zinc Sulphide Luminescence after absorption
3) Balloon pop
4) Black tape destruction
5) Lighting a match from 20ft - Kids loved this one!
Unfortunately the pictures were put into flash on the school website. ~
Also I think I am in need of a few more lasers for summer camp and an upcoming demo of an English physics demo. Physics teachers want English vocabulary!
