Teachable Moments Podcast #1: DISCUSSING OPTICS

CanadaScience.com's inaugural podcast! Hosted by Ken Peck, this episode features a fascinating interview with Geo Takach - writer, speaker, filmmaker and instructor. Geo shares insights about science teaching, what inspired him in school, and how light and optics are very important in fields other than science, such as in storytelling and filmmaking. The podcast also answers the ultimate question for teachers: How would a teacher detect a student who is coming into the classroom late, but is wearing an invisibility cloak?

Also, Ken provides some fascinating discussion topics about optics that you can share with your students.
