First grade physics students at the 4th Junior High School in Petroupoli, Greece introduce themselves and their study of light in physics class during the International Year of Light in 2015. The students began unsure of the topic but learned to ask questions, form hypotheses, and do experiments to find answers about basic physical phenomena. Their teacher uses various methods to encourage participation and learning, though not always successfully. The students are conducting measurements using sunlight for a project and their curriculum focuses on light as a form of energy and heat.
