Fundamentals of Light
Light and Color:
Light and Color:
This unit presents the basic properties of light and explains them via two different models - the ray model and the wave model. The ray model and illumination based on the inverse square law will be used to describe experiments to determine the speed of light. The wave model will be used to explain diffraction, color, polarization, and the Doppler effect.
Power Standards:
Power Standards:
Students will be able to read and solve physics problems by writing down what is given in the problem, choosing the correct equation, and calculating the correct answer with the appropriate unit.
Students will be able to read laboratory investigations, follow the directions, use laboratory equipment properly, follow safety instructions, and analyze the data to help apply physics concepts learned.
Students will be able to hypothesize what colors will appear using the rules for color addition and subtraction and apply what they learn in class to the color that they see in their everyday life.
Learning Targets:
Learning Targets:
Learning targets are what the students will be assessed on.
Physics Knowledge:
PK 16.1 - I understand light and can explain the electromagnetic spectrum and its applications. Chapter 16, Lesson 1
PK 16.2 - I can classify objects as transparent, translucent, or opaque. Chapter 16, Lesson 1
PK 16.3 - I can differentiate between luminous flux, illuminance, and luminous intensity. Chapter 16, Lesson 2
PK 16.4 - I can explain the visible light spectrum and the color printing process. Chapter 16, Lesson 3
PK 16.5 - I can compare and contrast color addition and color subtraction by interpreting the colors that I see in my everyday life. Chapter 16, Lesson 3
PK 16.6 - I can analyze light as it passes through a polarizer. Chapter 16, Lesson 4
Math:
M 16.7 - I can use the five steps to calculate the unknown physics variable in this chapter. Chapter 16, Lesson 2
M 16.8 - I know the abbreviations/units for the terms in this chapter. Chapter 16, Lesson 2
Standards Based Grading Scale:
Standards Based Grading Scale:
All of the above learning targets will be assessed with the following scale:
4 - Advanced. The learner has demonstrated a high level of conceptual and procedural understanding of the specific knowledge and skills.
3 - Proficient. The learner has demonstrated understanding of the specific knowledge and skills.
2 - Beginning. The learner is emerging but does not yet demonstrate understanding of specific knowledge and skills.
1 - The learner has provided some evidence, but not enough to assess proficiency.
0 - The learner has provided no evidence of the skill.
Learning targets will be added to MiStar at the beginning of the chapter and grades (0-4) will be entered as the students meet with the teacher and demonstrate their understanding of the learning targets. Learning target grades may not be added at the same time. If there is a blank, then the student may not have had the opportunity to demonstrate thier knowledge yet. A grade entered as zero means that they had the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and they chose not to.
