Through an illustrated tutorial and some interactive practice problems, students learn about the law of reflection of light.

Informational site provides illustrated tutorial of light reflection. Also discusses the law of reflection.

Students can see light reflected and refracted in this demonstration. They will also discover the total internal reflection of light.

Reflection and refraction are explained with an experiment that uses a sheet of paper, cardboard, and other common materials.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students learn about total internal reflection. More specifically, they will learn what the critical angle is, how it is derived and how to solve for it in real life...

Manipulate variables and measure angles as light is refracted in this interactive simulation.

Explore bending of light between two media with different indices of refraction. See how changing from air to water to glass changes the bending angle. Play with prisms of different shapes and make rainbows.

Defines the refraction of light and provides an applet for investigating it.

Use Cabri Jr to copy an angle. The activity is followed by a student-to-student interview/reflection sheet intended to require students to think, talk, and write about why the construction worked. The reflection sheet could be adapted...

The operation of Polaroid filters on a pair of sunglasses is shown.

This lesson plan, provided by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), encourages students to evaluate literature in a variety of multimedia formats and answer the question, "Who Am I?," Students are then asked to...
