Description
Highlights:
• Properties of Light
• White Light
• The Spectrum
• Reflection & Refraction
• Colour & Pigments
• The Human Eye
• Optical Illusions
These illuminating topics include "Light and Color", where students are introduced to luminous and illuminated objects, transparent, translucent and opaque objects, and investigate light's property of travelling in straight lines.
Refraction, bending light and the use of prisms to "break" white light into the colors of the rainbow are also explored. Section 2 focuses on the “Human Eye”, where students learn about the parts of the human eye, experiment with pupil size, and find their blind spot. Included are notes suitable for hand-outs or on a projection system that convey much of the knowledge-based material. This Physical Science lesson provides a teacher and student section with a variety of reading passages, activities, crossword, word search, exam and answer key to create a well-rounded lesson plan.
