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

This article by Kara Page explains how to write a self-assessment and reflection paper. W.9-10.9 Analysis/Reflection/Research

[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...

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.

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

This site gives some examples of line reflection transformations. Includes coordinate graphs to show reflections of lines and shapes.

Explore reflection symmetry in some different shapes.

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

All waves will reflect and refract in the right circumstances. The reflection and refraction of light explain how people see images, color and even optical illusions. This tutorial discusses each concept and presents an experiment to try...

This tutorial explains light absorption, reflection and transmission in a clear and concise manner. Provides a "Check Your Understanding" section as well as additional links on color and light.

For this task, 8th graders are given the coordinates of a point and are asked to find the coordinates of its reflection across a line parallel to the x-axis. Aligns with 8.G.A.3.

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

This illustrated physics tutorial serves as a step-by-step guide to drawing ray diagrams. It includes an opportunity for students to practice and check their answers.

This task applies reflections to a regular hexagon to construct a pattern of six hexagons enclosing a seventh. The focus of the task is on using the properties of reflections to deduce this seven-hexagon pattern. Aligns with G-CO.B.6.

In this task, 8th graders are presented with several rectangles that have diagonal lines through them and are placed on grids. They are asked to draw reflections and to discuss rectangles that are squares. Aligns with 8.G.A.

In this video from the Encyclopedia of Physics Demonstrations, students will observe how a laser beam is trapped in a water jet because the light reflects against the surface of the water. [1:03]

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

What kinds of evidence best support the points you make in a paper? Where can you find the evidence you need? This handout answers all these questions and more, including the difference between primary and secondary sources. You'll also...

This lesson plan engages students in learning about light through multiple sources. Students will learn how light is produced, reflected, refracted, and separated. Students will communicate their findings through an independent project...

Boundary behavior, incident pulse, reflected pulse,and transmitted pulse are explained in this thorough tutorial. Animation and drawings are used to clarify the concepts.

Understand that the moon shines by reflecting sunlight.

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

Rainbows and sunsets are called "atmospheric optics". They can be caused by light being absorbed, reflected, scattered, refracted, or diffracted by particles in the atmosphere. Learn all about different atmospheric optics along with...
