During this Unit students will perform experiments centered around a light wave and the way it interacts with different objects and media. Through experimentation and data collection, students will explore the following questions:
What is the relationship between the absorption and transmission of light through transparent objects?
How does light interact with objects that reflect light?
How does wavelength affect the perception of light?
How does a change in medium affect the wavelength of light?
Conceptual Themes addressed in this Unit:
- Properties of Matter
- Structure and Function
- Changes and Reactions
- Concentration
