[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart reviews the characteristics of light and its properties. Students are given examples of reflection, refraction, and lens types. An assessment component is included.

Ian and his family are on holiday near Loch Ness. Find out about the Loch Ness monster, and learn about light and reflection.

This probeware version of the Skills Practice Lab Brightness of Light from the chapter Light and Reflection uses a light probe to measure the intensity of light at different distances from a light source.

An illustrated article helps students understand the concept of reflection of images and the differences in reflection with different optical devices.

A very comprehensive unit including topics such as light and its source, visible sources of light, transparency of objects and much more. Also offers a resource list, blackline masters, and expectation list, expectation summary and a...

In a hands-on way, students explore light's properties of absorption, reflection, transmission and refraction through various experimental stations within the classroom. To understand absorption, reflection and transmission, they shine...

Teachers can download this teaching package that looks at light and symmetry through the use of mirrors. Students will enjoy the nine mirror challenges, along with the hands-on activities described in the lessons. Teachers will...

You and your students are going on an expedition to learn about the polar regions. Explore the glaciers, subglacial rivers, and volcanoes. Get up close and personal with furry, flippered, and feathered friends. Learn how other people...

This lesson engages students in making observations about different features of light. Students will circulate in different light stations, reflect on what they have observed, and then write about what they learned.

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

This animation discusses light and the properties of light in a storybook format. The animations cover the colors of the rainbow (ROYGBIV) along with prisms, light waves, reflection, and refraction.

This article discusses the historical figures who contributed to our understanding of the nature of light, x-rays, Quantum ElectroDynamic (QED) theory, and so on.

This tutorial reviews over the properties of light. Students will learn about reflection and refraction through videos, questions, and interactive activities.

How light waves demonstrate their wave nature by reflection, refraction, and diffraction.

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.

The behavior of light waves is introduced and discussed. Also, polarization, color, diffraction, and interference are introduced and discussed thoroughly as supporting evidence of the wave nature of light.

During this healthy foods lesson, students will sort foods into "healthy" and "unhealthy" categories.Students with then keep a food journal and reflect about their food choices.

Discover the relationship between light and colors in this brief lesson. Links to related color identification activities, Color Memory Challenge and Identifying Colors Quiz. Immediate feedback given to responses that includes...

Do you know why the sky is blue? Article defines scattering and how it works. Explains the difference between the scattering of light and reflection or refraction.

Students learn in this lesson about light intensity and the units used to measure it, the reflection of light, and how the amount of light can be increased using more lightbulbs.

Reflection, refraction, and the colors that make up white light is explored through lab activities after reading a brief background about light energy.

A collection of intermediate experiments, for students aged ten and up, for exploring the magnification, reflection, and refraction of light.

Middle schoolers learn the basic properties of light--the concepts of light absorption, transmission, reflection and refraction, as well as the behavior of light during interference. Lecture information briefly addresses the...

In this physics classroom, students learn how and why light of certain frequencies can be selectively absorbed, reflected or transmitted.
