Curated OER
Hot Air
Students conduct an experiment to determine how hot air affect the path of laser. In this physics lesson, students explain why stars appear to twinkle at night. They discuss how light travels from space to Earth.

For this science experiment worksheet, learners gather the materials they will need from the list provided. Following the 5 step directions, students perform the experiment. Learners answer 3 questions.
Curated OER
Water Works Wonders
Learners examine where water is found in the world, how we use it, and the various forms it takes. They observe the refraction of light through a prism, record the day and night sky over a week's time, and create a topographic model of...
Curated OER
Light and Laser
Twelfth graders investigate the refractive index of water. In this physics lesson plan, 12th graders explain the operation of laser. They write a lab report about the activity.
Curated OER
Light & Crystals
Students observe a demonstration of light refraction. They experiment with disappearing crystals to further study light refraction.
Curated OER
Lemon Light
High schoolers engage in a lesson which model different types of light refraction. They perform an experiment which uses lasers, jello and wax paper to illustrate how light refracts.
