In this series of interactive physics tutorials, students will focus on the wavelike nature of light.

A collection of information on the science of light and optics. Features a wide variety of resources: key events in history, reference materials, multimedia links, optical illusion activities, glossary of optics terms, and information on...

The behavior of light waves is introduced and discussed. Also, polarization, color, diffraction, and interference are introduced and discussed thoroughly as supporting evidence of the wave nature of light.

A physics tutorial focused on the behavior of light as it relates to concave mirrors.

In this physics tutorial, focus on the refraction of light in great detail. Explore the conceptual and mathematical principles governing the bending of waves as they cross the boundary between two media.

How can scientists lump heat, light and sound together when investigating properties and behaviors? This learning module will address that question through a series of activities.

In this illustrated physics tutorial, students investigate the connection between light reflection and light refraction.

Students learn the relevant equations for refraction (index of refraction and Snell's law) and how to use them to predict the behavior of light waves in specified scenarios.

This site from Georgia State University is an indexing page for several other pages on the topic of reflection. Topics are treated in an understandable manner and utilize meaningful graphics.

Students learn the basic properties of light--the concepts of light absorption, transmission, reflection and refraction, as well as the behavior of light during interference. Lecture information briefly addresses the electromagnetic...

Teachers and young scholars discover linkages among marine ecology, phytoplankton, the behavior of light at the ocean surface, and satellite-derived ocean color data. Explore the topics of phytoplankton, food webs, and algal blooms using...

Students learn about traffic lights and their importance in maintaining public safety and order. Using a Parallax Basic Stamp 2 microcontroller, students work in teams on the engineering challenge to build a traffic light with a specific...

Ray diagrams are useful tools for determining the location of an image as produced by a concave mirror. Of all the rays which emanate from the top of the object arrow and are incident to the mirror, there are two rays whose behavior at...

Extensive review and synopsis of a book that brings to light some information on the chemicals which have been thought for years to effect personality.

Lists and briefly describes three types of treatment for depression. Each treatment has a link to more information.

There are four factors that "Contribute to the vast majority of collisions." This detailed website discusses these: "Equipment Failure," "Roadway Design," "Poor Roadway Maintenance," and "Driver Behavior."

Education leaders are re-examining acceptable use policies in light of the increasing use of highly mobile information technologies. While acceptable use policies were developed to manage and control behavior, a digital citizenship...
