Light is more than just light bulbs and sunshine. Researchers can use different types of light to investigate and do a range of things. This activity is based on work being carried out at the University of Oxford. A team is using laser-light to create table-top supernovas to understand the origins of magnetic fields in our universe.
Students will act as science journalists and use a range of sources to find out more about the research and its aims before writing an article for a science news website. In doing so they will learn about the art of good science communication as well as the science of supernovas and magnetic field generation.
Learning outcomes: 1) Understand what a supernova and supernovae remnant are; 20 Use a variety of sources of information in order to write a science article outlining research taking place at the University of Oxford.
