Seeing The Sun In A New Light
Students examine the observation of "coronal holes," by x-rays, also about related fast streams and moderate magnetic storms that recur at 27 day intervals. They study NASA'S great observatories.
Curated OER
Stellar Fingerprints: the Spectra of Stars
Students explain how an element can be identified using emission spectra. They relate the emission spectrum of hydrogen to its absorption spectrum and identify hydrogen absorption lines in the spectrum of stars.
Curated OER
Spectral Surprise
Students create spectral colors. For this hands-on science lesson, students examine the electromagnetic spectrum as they follow steps to create a model that separates and displays light.
Curated OER
Stained Glass Heart Sun Catcher
Learners experiment with the effects of color and light as they are exposed to the basics of working with stained glass: cutting, assembly, soldering and finishing.
Curated OER
What Color is Chlorophyll?
Young scholars observe the interactions of chlorophyll and light. They develop and form their own testable hypotheses. Students predict the color of chlorophyll in various types of plants.
Curated OER
What You See Is What You Get
Learners explore light and colors. They see how white light is made up of various colors. They need to have some background knowledge about prisms, light wave lengths, and behavior of light, primary and secondary colors, and ratios.
Curated OER
Examining Spectra
Students examine the spectra with the use of light while constructing their own spectroscope. They make observations about the colors and visible wavelengths of light and then conduct classroom discussions. As an extension students read...
Curated OER
Comparing Sunscreens
Twelfth graders use a microcomputer connected to an ultra-violet sensor to compare the relative blocking power of different SPF sunscreens for the UVB region of the solar spectrum.
Curated OER
To See or Not to See
Young scholars identify and discuss key factors that determine how effective color camouflage is in certain habitats. In this investigative lesson students divide into groups and study light.
Curated OER
Electromagnetic Radiation and the Bohr Atom
For this light worksheet, students calculate the frequency and wavelength. Students practice applying Planck's constant and determining the energy of a photon. This worksheet has 9 problems to solve.
Curated OER
Sensing the Invisible
Students study visible light and explain why we want to use infrared radiation to study Mercury. In this sunlight instructional activity students construct a device to measure the presence of infrared radiation in sunlight.
Curated OER
Enlightening Explorations, Part III
Sixth graders continue their examination of light. In groups, they make rainbows and examine the spectrum of visible light. They travel between various stations recording their observations about the behaviors of light. To end the...
Curated OER
All That Glitters...
Students study that white light (visible light) is comprised of all colors of the spectrum. They study that the quantity of light decreases with increasing depth in the ocean. They study that the quality of light changes with increasing...
Curated OER
Photometry
Young scholars examine blackbody radiation and light wavelengths. Students research the various types of electromagnetic spectrum. Young scholars examine any misconceptions they may have in light.
Curated OER
Colors
Learners examine what colors are in white and other colors of light. In this light prism lesson students complete a lab activity that helps them understand complimentary colors.
Curated OER
Twisted Vision
Students explain polarization vision and why some animals have it while others do not. They examine the reasons why it would be helpful for marine organisms to have polarized light.
Curated OER
It's All In The Surface: The Effects Of Color & Texture On The Ability Of A Surface To Absorb Solar Energy
Ninth graders examine how dark surfaces absorb more light than light surfaces. They perform an experiment that compares various surfaces abilities to absorb heat, then record and analyze the results.
Curated OER
