The Polarization of Light
What does polarized light mean? How can some light waves be blocked while other light waves are transmitted? This lesson plan explores the phenomenon of polarized light and how light waves interact with filters. The dual wave/particle aspects of light are first explored and an analysis of how light waves oscillate and propagate is provided. Students recreate Young's Double Slit Experiment and conduct additional hands-on activities where they observe different properties of light and the role of filters in light absorption and transmission.

This lesson has a focus on Bernoulli's Principle, the venturi, and how it applies toward creating lift on an aircraft.
In this engaging and creative lesson, students get a feel of what it is like to be a chemical or materials engineer. Each group will make their own bioplastic using cornstarch, vinegar, water, and
This is the 4th and final part of a 4-part series that allows students to communicate what they've learned through using the engineering design process to develop new vision technology. Links to all
