Instructional Ideas

• Create a tube of liquids with different refraction rates and shine a laser light through it to demonstrate the concept

Classroom Considerations

• Works on all Internet-connected devices from cell phones to desktops
• Relies on prior knowledge of refraction and the direction of bending

Pros

• Provides all questions in PDF format for those that don't have Internet access
• Offers immediate feedback and additional questions if pupils are struggling
• Links to related lessons, activities, and more

Cons

• None
