Law Enforcement - Refraction
Pupils apply their knowledge of refraction to four different sets of challenges. Each of the first three focus on one variable's impact on the direction of bending. The fourth combines variables for greater challenge.
Curated OER
What Color is It?
Students indentify whether an objects reflects or absorbs red, green, and/or blue light. They create a simple spectral signature.
Curated OER
Albedo and Irradiation of Surfaces
Here is a physical science activity where pupils place thermometers inside of a white and a black paper pocket and place them under a lamp. They record and compare the temperature increase over a ten-minute period. Have your class...
Curated OER
In My Own Voice
Students engage in a language arts lesson in order to appreciate the study of names. They investigate the significance of a name to the owner. Students research the origins of their own name and state how it reflects their personality.
Curated OER
Laser Types and Uses
Students examine the properties of lasers and research their types and uses. For this laser lesson students view several demonstrations.
Curated OER
Super Gelatin
Students investigate the refraction properties of gelatin to calculate its index of refraction. They discover that as the light travels through the gelatin, its speed and wavelength also change. Students find th indes of refraction of an...
Curated OER
Sensing Energy: Designing to Stay Cool
Students examine the energy the sun produces on a daily basis. In groups, they discover the properties of visible and invisible light. They also adjust the exposure time to change the properties of various objects. To end the lesson,...

Addressing Student's Questions in the Aftermath of the Terrorist Attacks
Students discuss peacemaking. In this political policy and emotions lesson, students explore ideas for expressing feelings in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. Students reflect on punitive and restorative justice.
Curated OER
Splash
Learners work together to enhance their communication and problem solving skills. They move a cup of water from a tarp to a higher surface using nothing but pieces of yarn. In addition, they reflect on the lab experience.
Curated OER
Obtain a visible spectra of chlorophyll a
Students become familiar with the concept of spectroscopy or the study of the interaction of matter with electromagnetic radiation. They prepare solutions and measure absorbance at different wavelengths. Pupils comprehend that mater and...

The Geometry of Real Images
In this math worksheet, students read the examples for using the techniques of mathematical modeling. They draw the angles in order to simulate the reflection of light while using a concave mirror.
Curated OER
Contour Drawing Shells
High schoolers develop skills in shading and create eye movement through the use of lights and darks. They show five principles of shading while drawing shells and bones.
Curated OER
Echolocation
Young scholars explore echolocation. In this bats science lesson, students compare sunlight reflecting off a mirror to sound waves hitting a bat's ears. Young scholars complete a worksheet about bats.
Curated OER
Color and Spectrum
Students examine the spectra of light sources that have similar colors. In this light lesson students complete an activity using various lights in the classroom and discuss the colors and the heat generated.
Curated OER
Enlightening Explorations, Part II
Sixth graders review their results from the previous experiments. After viewing a kaleidoscope, they make their own pattern on paper and describe the role of light. To end the lesson plan, they examine light being relfected and...
