- Exploratorium
Science Snacks About Light- Experiment with colors that contain
white.
- Exploring
the Path of Light- Students will realize that light travels in a
straight path and in all directions through prediction and exploration.
- How
Far Does Light Go?- "How Far Does Light Go?" is a debate project
which engages students in an examination of the scientific properties
of light by engaging them with relevant evidence from the Web.
- Light
and Color- This lesson explores the colors of light and pigments
by illustrating the use of the visible light spectrum in our everyday
life. Students will be able to identify the relationship between color
and light.
- Light
By Friction
-
Light Unit: Grade 4- This unit on light could be developed by showing
that light is a form of energy. Ways in which other types of energy
can be converted into light, and the way in which light can be converted
into heat energy, should be explained.
- Looking
into Lenses- Students learn about the differences between concave
and convex lenses, along with practical uses for lenses.
- Make
Your Own Lightning!
-
Me and My Shadow Unit- Design and make shadow puppets from light
card and popsticks.
- Mixing Primary:
Secondary colors- This is a visual teaching method and reinforcement
of primary-secondary colors and color mixing.
- Modeling
Shadows- To demonstrate understanding of shadows by creating a physical
model of concepts learned.
- One
Color or Two?- Predict what will happen when the strip is placed
in the water.
- Optical
Images- Students beginning the study of optics will recite the law
of reflection, but are unable to apply that concept to ray diagrams
when viewing images. Using a laser students can aim at the image and
conceptualize the law of reflection
- Pennies,
Pressure, Temperature, and Light- The major goal of this lesson
is to collect data from a variety of experiments, and then determine
what type of model best fits the data, and explain why.
- Primary
Colors: Additive and Subtractive- The purpose of this lesson is
to introduce students to the additive and subtractive primary colors
and to correct the misconception that red, yellow, and blue are the
"primary colors."
- Rainbows
and Prisms- Students will have the opportunity to explore how rainbows
form through an exploration of prisms.
- Reflect
or Absorb Light?- The students will be able to understand the concept
of light absorption and light reflection.
- Seeing
the Sun in a New Light- About the observation of "coronal holes,"
by x-rays, also about related fast streams and moderate magnetic storms
that recur at 27 day intervals.
- Shadows-
To investigate shadows, using literature-based discussion as well as
experiences with manipulating shadows.
- Using
Bubbles to Learn about Light Interference- To understand the wave
properties of light, especially the phenomenon of interference.
- Visible
Light- Students will explore characteristics of light and heat.
- What
Makes Shadows?- Students learn about shadows as they observe and
draw the shadow of a classmate. In the extension activity, students
observe and discuss shadows changing over time.
