Students are able to describe what happens to light when it strikes different materials. They describe the law of reflection. Students are able to explain why a mirror froms a virtual image. They are able to describe diffuse reflection.

Students experiment with mirrors. For this Mirrors and How They reflect lesson, students read how mirrors reflect light. Then students perform over ten experiments and record their conclusions about mirrors and reflection. Students...

Learners compare and contrast electromagnetic and physical waves. In this wave lesson, students discover that all waves reflect, refract, and diffract energy. Learners work in small groups to experiment with waves and evaluate the type...

Learners study the movement of light. For this light lesson, students work in groups to participate in a light and shadow walk around their neighborhood. Learners brainstorm rules for light movement and watch videos about light travel,...

Students build their own spectrophotometer to study light. In this physics instructional activity, students explain the dual nature of light. They calculate the angle of incidence and refraction using Snell's law equation.

Students analyze water quality and turbidity of collected samples. In this physics lesson, students conduct tests to identify the suspended particles in the samples. They explain how human activities affect water quality.

Eleventh graders explore the different steps in the engineering process. In this physics lesson, 11th graders design an experiment based on topic given. They prepare a presentation and share it with the class.

Learners study photovoltaic technology. For this photovoltaic technology lesson, students simulate a photovoltaic system. Learners discuss how to simulate a cloudy day.

Eleventh graders investigate the nature of light. In this physics lesson, 11th graders determine how light intensity varies with the distance of the light source.

Students review and discuss how Solar energy and electricity produce light and heat. They create a photo/picture journal and include pictures taken during solar energy activities to a PowerPoint slide presentation.

Young scholars are assigned to groups, and determine each member's role in the group. They will design an experiment to determine a way to produce the three primary and five secondary colors. Students discuss color and mood. They listen...
