Light - 2 views

  •  
    This resource would be used as a lesson. It shows how putting objects in a way of light can make the light bend or go in different angles. I would use the activities in the resource to start off the lesson and ask the students to make conclusions of what they might think could happen.

    This is a test which covers the basics of light bending and refraction. I selected this resource because I believe it would be a good way for students to test their knowledge about this topic. In my classroom I would use this as a way to introduce the topic.

Bending Light Simulation - 1 views

  •  
    This resource is my technology source. In this resource you are able to chose air, water, or glass. Then you press the light button which allows you to send a light ray or wave through one of those. You then can see how it reflects, bends, or bounces through each one of these. I would use this resource as part of a way to summarize a lesson. This will allow students to play around with it on the computer.

The Bending and Bouncing of Light Lesson - 0 views

  •  
    Ask students to look at a glass of water with a pencil in it and have them draw their observations. Tell them to look at the glass from all angles. Ask them to explain their observations and hypothesize the cause of this discrepant observation. This would be a good follow up lesson after the bending light lab/experiment. I would use this to introduce the lab and experiment. Then finish and summarize the lesson by adding the questions.

Bend a straw in a cup of water with just your eyes - Fun Science Experiments for Kids - 0 views

  •  
    Our eyes are using light to see various objects all the time, but when this light travels through different mediums (such as water & air) it changes direction slightly. Light refracts (or bends) when it passes from water to air. I selected this resource because I could not quite find a good field trip. I feel like this is an easy way to show the young children how objects bend when looking through other material. This is a very easy lab and experiment for young grades. I would use this lab when showing my class how objects may appear and look different when seen through different objects.

Waves: Bill Nye Worksheet - 0 views

  •  
    This worksheet is a follow up worksheet for a Bill Nye video. This worksheet has questions in which the children would have to fill out during or after they have watched the video. All of these questions are taken from the video. I selected this worksheet because it is based on a science video which children would be interested in. Since this worksheet is based around a video, the children will have to pay attention to find the answers. I would use the video and worksheet to engage the children and then go into more detail throughout the lesson.

Bill Nye: Light Bending and Bouncing - 0 views

  •  
    This video is about how light bends or bounces due to objects being placed in front of it. I selected this video because Bill Nye uses a fun interesting way of teaching science with certain topics. I would use this as the lesson, and then would follow it up with a worksheet for the class

    In this youtube video, it discusses the idea of energy in waves: a transfer story. This video goes along with my standard, Waves and their applications in technology for information transfer. I used this youtube video because it shows children how by making energy it produces sounds and waves. I would use this video to introduce the topic, and then I would follow up by asking what the children's opinions were and what they thought about energy and waves.
