LIGHT and OPTICS!
REFLECTION is the word of the week. We are using plane, convex and concave mirrors to beam light everywhere! Here are the hand-outs from class on REFLECTION.
Students are using FRAYER models to map out their knowledge of light and optics vocabulary.
Our first 7 important /phraseswere:
a)VISIBLE LIGHT b) LUMINESCENT c) INCANDESCENT
d) FLUORESCENT e) BIOLUMINESCENT f) PHOSPHORESCENT
g)CHEMILUMINESCENT
Our next three weeks will be spent messing around with various light and optics (phyics) concepts:
We did some THREE POINT APPROACH definition sheets to prepare ourselves for our experiements with and on:
*the spectrum *frequency (of a wave) *wavelength
*refraction *concave mirrors *convex mirrors
*gamma rays (cosmic rays) * ultraviolet rays (UV)
* X-rays *radiowaves
*microwaves *concave lenses *convex lenses
(I may have missed some like.... the law of reflection, angle of incidence, angle of reflection, normal line, additive theory, subtractive theory.....ummmm....oh yeah, amplitude of a wave, crest of a wave and trough of a wave! I think that is almost it!)
Be prepared for some interesting times and ask lots of questions and keep filling in your
CONCEPT MAP and
your KWL (know, want to know and learned!!!)
