Curated OER
Multiple Images Activity
In this images worksheet, students use different sized mirrors to determine how many angles and images are reflected. Students complete 5 sets of directions.
Curated OER
Physical Principles in Living Systems
Seventh graders experiment with white light, plane mirrors, and curved mirrors in order to demonstrate the physical principles of living systems. In this physical principles lesson plan, 7th graders take 3 days to discover what happens...
Curated OER
How We See Things
Students explain that when a beam of light is reflected from its surface, it changes direction. In this virtual science experiment lesson plan, students complete an activity that requires them to investigate how flat mirrors reflect...
Curated OER
Year 6 Booster shape pg 1
In this reflection worksheet, students reflect the shapes in the mirror lines and draw them on the other side. They complete 2 drawings. The answers are on the last page.
Curated OER
Reflecting Light
Students are introduced to the reflective properties of light and use mirrors to make light from a source reflect onto a specific target. They take turns and record the amount of time it took to correctly reflect the light.
Curated OER
Plane Mirrors
Students investigate the law of reflection by using mirrors. In this physics lesson, students operate a robot using IR controllers. They explain the path of light as it reflects through a surface.
Curated OER
Magic Mirror Box
Students observe a plywood box with mirrors. In this mirror and light lesson plan, students make informal, individual investigations with a plywood box that has been fitted with mirror squares. They use observation skills and investigate...
Curated OER
Line Symmetry
In this line symmetry worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different problems related to various forms of line symmetry. They classify each line of symmetry illustrated as horizontal, vertical, both, or neither. Then students check the...
Curated OER
Mirrors and Lenses
Students identify the characteristics of mirrors and lenses. In groups, they describe the types of images formed by converging and diverging mirrors and calculate the magnification of a spherical mirror. They follow the same procedure...
Curated OER
Science
Third graders study light and shadow, participate in mirror activities, and build a periscope.
Curated OER
Through the Looking Glass
Students conduct Internet 'treasure hunts' to explore how everyday items, both in their antique and modern forms, possess historic and cultural significance.
