Lesson 12: Properties of light waves & Light Interactions (Lab)
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
Students will be able to observe the separation of white light into colors using prisms. Students will also use lenses and mirrors to "bend" light.
How does light behave when going through different mediums?
Color and wavelength. reflection, refraction, and absorption
MS-PS4-2
Analysis of experimental data related to wave phenomena.
DOK 4: Design and conduct experiments to investigate wave phenomena.
Telescopes, observation of space/cosmos
Light is only made of visible colors.
Provide visual aids and simulations to support visual learners.
Offer hands-on activities and experiments to engage kinesthetic learners.
Lab reports and data analysis.
prisms, laptops, light sources, lenses, mirrors, data sheets
Lab: observing the separation of white light into colors using prisms and exploring the use of lenses and mirrors.
