Description
I will present a model that illustrates the behavior of photons for K-12 students. The model of the photon I used combines both the 'wave' and 'particle' nature of light. We will incorporate a hands-on activity using pipe cleaners to represent the wave properties, while play dough will symbolize energy. We will share our experiences teaching this model and highlight some observations we made with students in grades 6 to 12. Additionally, we will demonstrate how this model utilizes the matching photon properties and discuss its limitations.
