We explored light for one last day. Today we watched a Bill Nye video on Light and Optics. We reinforced things that we have already learned, and learned a few new things.
The video discusses the difference between Reflection and Refraction, Convex and Concave Lenses, the students were even taught hand motions to review these concepts. They should have walked away knowing that Reflection is the "bouncing" of light, Refraction is the "bending" of light, Convex lenses bend light inwards and makes the paths cross at a focal point and then makes an inverse image on the other side of the focal point, and that Concave lenses spread light beams out and tend to make images look smaller and farther away.
On the right side of the blog, I've shared the notes and a practice quiz that reviews what we learned in the video, so that the students can check for their understanding.
We took a quiz in class over the vocabulary that has been introduced this week.
