Other experiences in optics with my students or in family
McLennan Physical Laboratories of the University of Toronto
Polytechnique Montreal
Polytechnique Montreal for one of my kid.
Polytechnique Montreal - First telescope :-)
One of my kids spent 100 hours in the school for future engineer Polytechnique Montreal between Summer Camps, Saturday Scientific Club for Young etc when he was between 9 and 11 years old (At the age of 9/10 years he developed his own levels of video games). I took the opportunity to access the library of Polytechnique Montreal and read a lot about optics and Human factors in flight (hence my interest in neutron radiation and radiation on astronauts).
Today my son makes Stop-Motion and is very interested by motion ("change in position of an object over time"). His videos are extremely fluid. He tries to find the right FPS (Frame by second) that would better simulate the reality ... He have his lab in our garage. Maybe a future physicist?...Or Director movie...
And me it makes me want to see always smaller (subatomic world) or bigger and far (astronomy). I started making my first telescope and I make most of my filters. I think about a prototype in this field... ;-)

Some test with a laser, water and protractor... very boring by the way... #Snell's law is boring
Fluorescence

Green screen for Stop Motion - TIFF - Toronto
Play alchemists: heat an eggshell, immerse it in the water and a metal type appearance will appear.

Part 3
Staining of E. coli microbes, because I did not know it before, but some bacteria and microbes are transparent and we need to color them with methylene blue to see them.
Always staining of E.coli microbes.
E.Coli and microscope. Yes in blue in more easy to see it :-)
