1.Introduction -  45 min

The manager of the folklore museum is visiting our school to talk with the students about the renovation and what is asked from them, as if they were a company with experts. The project is to use LED lights to light up the art work in the museum. The manager is talking and informing students for about 20 minutes. Then some examples of how do LED lights used in art work are shown, so students get some ideas. 1.Picture Lights - Artwork Lighting Options - Lamps Plus 2.LED Gallery Lighting: Lumicrest LEDs compared to old halogen lights 3.LED Lighting Design Project For Museum lighting with LED focus spotlight 4.Art Gallery Lighting Australia & New Zealand | LED World. A discussion about the project takes place and students should write on a Padlet wall their ideas about the museum project and what impressed them about the LED lighting.

2. Physics -  90 min

The first hour of this lesson is for students to understand the LED technology, so they need to understand semiconductors and diodes. The teacher starts a discussion  to see what knowledge students have or misunderstandings might exist. When they conclude about semiconductors, they introduced in the diode. An animation of how a diode is working is shown: Animation | How a P N junction semiconductor works | forward reverse bias | diffusion drift current . Then, students will be grouped and watch a simulation: phet.colorado_ semiconductor simulation. Still in groups students will exercise in this simulator by changing the characteristics of the diode and the model: Simulator of Diode Characteristics. They will present their results of the simulation and correlations that might be found, in class. 

Next hour, students will deal with LED technology. Light Emitter Diode is presented by the teacher and those videos help to explain better how LED works: LEDs and OLEDs - How it Works, Inventors, The LED - How LEDs work? Every group must do a research to find out what are the advantages and disadvantages of LED lights. They present their findings in the classes. At the end, students will answer a poll, with polleverywhere app; concerning their understanding of LED technology, if they are positive in using LED lights and will they use it for the museum renovation.

3. Electrical  Engineering -  135 min

In electricians' laboratory students will remember some basics about LED lights and after watching this video : Experiment with led lights, will have to construct this small circuit, by working in pairs, and manage to light it up with the use of the right resistor.  The second exercise is for the same pairs of students, to connect in a series circuit 5 different color LED lights, a battery, a switch, a resistor and cables, and light it up. The last minutes of this hour, students will present their circuits and talk about problems might appear and solutions they gave.

Next hour in the laboratory is about Light terminology and there is a discussion about the terms used and can be found in every LED bulb’s characteristics.  Also Integral LED - What are lumens? and Lumens per Watt & LED Efficacy are presented. Next step, will be the connection of a dimmer switch to a LED bulb that each team need to construct. Students, will present their circuits and then will answer a small Kahoot about the correlations between Voltage, Current and Resistor using the brightness in LED bulb and the dimmer switch.

Latter, students will deal with sustainability. A discussion about new ways to reduce energy, how the latest lighting technology can save energy with the use of sensors is starting with the guidance of the teacher.  Afterwards, students will create their final teams that will work their project and start exploring online for ways to use this new LED technology and sensors in their project to succeed better energy savings with green lighting. Every team will prepare a list with the ideas and the products they choose to work with, referring to the reasons for that.

4. Informatics -  45 min

In this lesson students will learn how they can control LED lights/strips with their phones using online applications. They can change the color or brightness, but also can change the light of the LED light/strip according to the rhythm of the music. The online applications that students will use are: Philips Hue , duoCol Strip and LED BLE . Students must work in groups and create a script where they will use the lighting application accordingly. Every team will present their work and will explain the reasons they chose those characteristics, any problems might appeared and if the application was easy to use and if would recommend it.

5. Art -  270 min

The “art-part” starts with the final teams working for their project. Students will download some free online apps to measure the light (as Lux Meter, Lux Light Meter Free ,Smart Luxmeter etc). Next step is to visit the folklore museum and do a research about the existing lighting, take light measurements and photos before the renovation. Subsequently, back in school, there is a discussion with some theory of artwork, colors and the importance of proper lighting in artwork, followed by research students will do online to find ideas about their project. It is proposed that students check videos from the Smithsonian American Art Museum concerning lighting.  They can use Evernote or Trello to gather and organize their information from the research they have done, also in previous lessons. Then every team need to decide what will be their complete proposal for the museum manager, based on arguments. After that, students must prepare their presentation to communicate their proposal in order to convince the manager of the museum that they have the best and most reliable idea that fits the demands of the museum. Ultimately, with the museum’s manager joining us in school, every team will present their project, with the participation of all team members and using a study/poster/painting/design they created.
