A discussion of the Advanced Light Source (ALS) facility and its use in material analysis and medicine.

A video and a short quiz on the basic concepts and vocabulary for understanding light energy.

A very comprehensive unit including topics such as light and its source, visible sources of light, transparency of objects and much more. Also offers a resource list, blackline masters, and expectation list, expectation summary and a...

A slideshow and a short quiz on the different types of renewable energy sources.

Students will learn about the different types and sources of energy, including heat and light, electrical, potential, and kinetic energy.

Students explore how patterns and contrasts in language (diction, imagery, figurative language) reveal central ideas in texts and develop various motifs (light vs. dark, dreams vs. reality, high vs. low, etc.) in Romeo and Juliet. They...

In this module, students learn about the different sources of light, what causes darkness, and about shadows.

This resource provides information about light and shadows. In addition, there is a short quiz that can be taken.

Website companion to PBS show, "Rough Science," in which five scientists use their collective expertise to complete a series of tasks. Follow the scientists as they do things like generate electricity, make soap, make antibacterial...

This resource provides information on light as well as links to additional sites on light and optics.

Examine how multiple light sources produce shadows of differing darkness and length. Move a player (with four light sources) around the field until your image matches the five other images on the page so you can identify where the player...

Apply the Schwarzschild metric to the paths light travels when it radiates in every direction near a black hole. Adjust the position of the light source and observe the effective potential of the paths.

Students will investigate how light is a form of energy that travels as waves away from the source. The basis for this lesson is taken from the Houghton Mifflin science curriculum. In the lesson experiments, students will predict if...

Manipulate variables in order to observe the effects of relative motion on events such as an explosion and the time at which its light signal reaches a destination.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of visible light and what incandescence, luminescence and illumination are and how they occur.

Simulation that shows the diffraction of light through single or multiple slits. Simulation allows modification of the number of slits, slit width, slit separation, and the wavelength.

Using the Schwarzchild metric this simulates the path of light from a black hole also identifying specific time and angle of the light.

A model for examining the simultaneity of two events where the relative velocity and the wave source, either light or sound, can be manipulated.

Visualization using the Schwarzschild metric, showing the path light travels near a black hole. Adjust the impact parameter and observe effective potential well of the light particle.

Experience the photoelectric effect by choosing different light frequency, voltage, and metals to stop current from flowing in a circuit.

We all know that it takes energy to provide us with the basics of shelter: heating, cooling, lighting, electricity, sanitation and cooking. To create energy-efficient housing that is practical for people to use every day requires...

First graders learn factual information about the moon and how light creates shadows. Noting that authors oftentimes use their imaginations to create stories, 1st graders explore how misconceptions and misunderstandings can often be...

Let this classic family of monsters guide you as you learn about energy. Interactive exercises, experiments, and demonstrations help to build knowledge and raise questions.

Source of information on the subject of weather photography. There are great links, images and tips on equipment to use. For the intermediate to advanced photographer.
