Lesson Plan

Lights on the International Space Station

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Groups explore illumination with NASA's Lighting Environment Test Facility (LETF) as a context. Using the TI-Nspire app, groups determine the lux equation that models their simulation. They then use the lux equation to solve problems relating to illumination on the International Space Station.
