Light and Sound

Light and Sound

This unit focuses on light and sound energy where students will explore visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum, reflection, and refraction of light rays. They will also explore the biology of eyes through a dissection activity and how lenses can be used to correct vision problems. They will complete an investigation into an eye disorder and then investigate how sound waves and vibrations create sound energy. Student participation, questions, and responses to the class discussion will complement the work that is collected from their workbooks at the end of the unit and demonstrate their acquisition of scientific knowledge and an understanding of technological advancements used to improve vision and hearing disorders.
