Las Vegas Fieldtrip: Lasers and Mazes

Event Details:

Our Henderson Area Leader for SHEA, has scheduled a fantastic field trip for homeschoolers for Thursday, May 8th at Laser Quest! The fieldtrip is open to all Homeschoolers in our area. Feel free to forward the information on to other groups/people that may want to attend.

Lasers and Mazes is designed for Grades 4-9. Obviously that is a loose
guideline for us homeschoolers. You know your kids the best.

It is a two hour event. They start by playing a 20 minute game. Then they have a demonstration of the inner workings of a laser and they conduct an experiment on the property of light. They also discuss history of mazes and see the actual design of the maze they played on. A 12 minute video is shown that talks about how lasers and mazes are used in everyday life. The last part lets everyone play another 20 minute game. This lets them try out all their newfound knowledge.

Here is a link to their video which shows the event:
