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 hands-on lesson allows students to engage in the engineering design process by building a new vision technology with applications of convex and concave lenses. This is the 3rd lesson in a series
In this lesson, students explore glow-in-the-dark materials using regular flashlights and UV flashlights. They then add phosphorescence and the emission of EM energy to previous models of light and
Students explore different recipes for giant bubbles and determine which recipe created the best (longest lasting) bubbles in this engaging lesson. Then, they examine the structures of the added
