5.1A Demonstrate safe practices and the use of safety equipment as outlined in TEA-approved safety standards during classroom and outdoor investigations using safety equipment, including safety goggles or chemical splash goggles, as appropriate, and gloves, as appropriate…
5.4 collect, record, and analyze information using tools, including calculators, microscopes, cameras, computers, hand lenses, metric rulers, Celsius thermometers, prisms, mirrors, pan balances, triple beam balances, spring scales, graduated cylinders, beakers, hot plates, meter sticks, magnets, collecting nets, and notebooks; timing devices, including clocks and stopwatches; and materials to support observations of habitats or organisms such as terrariums and aquariums
5.3C draw or develop a model that represents how something works or looks that cannot be seen such as the Sun, Earth, and Moon system and formation of sedimentary rock works or looks
Student Learning Targets:
Student Learning Targets:
- I will demonstrate that light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object
- I will demonstrate that light is reflected, or bounced, off of objects that are smooth and shiny
- I will demonstrate that light is refracted, or bent, when it is transmitted through objects that are clear and denser than air
- I will demonstrate that light reflects at the same angle it strikes an object
- I will demonstrate that light refracting through a prism will appear separated into its component colors
- I will demonstrate that the refraction of objects causes their appearance to change shape, size, or direction
- I will observe that light can be transmitted or absorbed.
Essential Questions:
Essential Questions:
- What things can happen to light when it strikes an object?
- What type of surface reflects light?
- What type of object refracts light?
- How does the object’s appearance change when it is refracted?
