In order to meet this standard, it is expected that students will

• explain the relationship between energy and visible light (5.6 a)

• construct a model of a transverse wave and label a wavelength, crest, and trough (5.6 a)

• describe the relationship between wavelength and color of light (5.6 b)

• create models illustrating high- and low-energy light waves (5.6 b)

• plan and conduct an investigation using water, mirrors, and prisms to explore the reflection and refraction of light (5.6 b, c)

• plan and conduct an investigation to determine how different materials interact with light (5.6 c)

• compare the reflection and refraction of light (5.6 c)

• describe examples of radiant energy transfer in both nature and the manmade world (5.6 d).

Located above are the notes for this unit. There are notes from 2020 and 2021. Please note - in 2021 Light was covered over the course of 3 weeks and each week has a different presentation.
