Light Activity LAB #1
STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
Student will understand the concepts around the Angle of Incidence and Angle of Reflection
SAFETY WARNING: Do not shine the laser onto another person! Anyone messing around with the lasers will use their Lab privileges for this phenomenon.
MATERIALS:
Last Pointer
White cardstock folded in half
Mirror and stand
ACTIVITY #1:
Using the materials you have been given, individually you will reflect the laser light off of the mirror and on to each corner of the card. When you have reflected the light onto one corner, show Mrs. Smith, then continue to work on the other corners, showing Mrs. Smith that you can reflect the light onto each corner.
ACTIVITY #2:
Once you and three of your teammates have completed Activity #1, you will now use one card, four lasers and two mirrors to reflect light onto all four corners of the card at the same time. Once you have accomplished this show it to Mrs. Smith.
ACTIVITY #3:
Fill out part 1 of the lab sheet. "Patterns"

Helpful Science Words:
Emit - verb (used with object), e·mit·ted, e·mit·ting. to send forth (liquid, light, heat, sound, particles, etc.); discharge. Depicted - If you depict someone or something, you show what that person or thing is like—either in some kind of image (such as a drawing, painting, photograph, or movie), or with words. What results from your efforts to depict that person or thing can be called a depiction. Photons - photons are the fundamental particle of light. Absorbed - Light absorption is a process by which light is absorbed and converted into energy. This process is known as photosynthesis in plants. ... If they are complementary, light is absorbed. If they are not complementary, then the light passes through the object or gets reflected. |

Monday - 16 March "Review"
For today, I would like you to go to EdPuzzle.com and watch the assigned video for "Refraction of Light". Answer the questions along the way. It might be helpful to draw yourself a few pictures and makes some notes as well. If for some reason, you have never created an EdPuzzle account, our class code is: tiassal I will be checking your answers and making comments, if it appears you need some help.
ALSO, if you have not completed the PHET LAB above, please download the docx worksheet and work through the Phet. Instructions are there for you. Please submit you PHET worksheet to CANVAS.
LASTLY, let me know how these assignments went for you. Fill out the EXIT TICKET for today.

tuesday, 16 March - Review
First off, here's a video to a lab you can do at home. If you have the materials I encourage you to do it. It's a great review for what we have been learning.
Next, you will go onto EdPuzzle.com and Mr. Vanier has created some review videos on Light. Watch each of the videos and answer the questions along the way.
Finally, in Google Docs or Word, write a three paragraph explanation of why you see colors in a bubble. You will need to upload your answer to CANVAS. Please have this posted by 3 p.m. today so that I can give you feedback. I want to make sure that you are ready for your test tomorrow.
ALSO, I will use these assignments to fill in any missing work while I am working on your final science grade for 3rd Quarter.

Wednesday, 17 March - THE TEST
As I've been telling you about - I have decided to give you a different sort of assessment this time. The test is posted below. You will need to download it. Fill it out in either Google Docs or Word, then save it to your Google Drive. Then, you will need to upload it to CANVAS to turn it in. If you turn it in after 3 p.m. on Wednesday, March 17th, I cannot guarantee that it will make it on your report card.
Remember that I want your answers, not someone else's answers.
GO TEAM! SHOW ME WHAT YOU KNOW!
