Learners' understanding of, and thinking about, light

Some examples from ECLIPSE of what students have said relating to light:

Light is actively bounced out of the eye towards objects so we can see

Thicker light bends more than thin light

Light is like money?: an example of a student-generated simile from the ASCEND enrichment project.

This is just one of a wide range of science topics that learners have talked about in ECLIPSE projects.
