We asked them, “What can you find out about light with this equipment?” One of the groups had trouble getting started, and were unsure exactly what to do with their time since specific guidelines were not set. I suggested that they develop a few questions to explore by pointing the light sensor at different colors and materials which helped get them started. After each group had made the observation that lighter colors … text/html 2012-04-12T09:23:27-08:00 http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/physics/coursewikis/ph111/doku.php?id=days:spring2012daybyday:spring2012day4:daily_schedule&rev=1334247807 9:30 - 10:00 Field Trip to the Roof (if sunny) OR Exploring Pinhole Camera Scenarios (if not sunny) 10:00 - 10:15 Discussing Above Activity 10:15 - 10:35 Presenting Findings 10:45 - 11:30 Finishing Light Websites 10:30 - 11:50 Reflecting text/html 2012-04-12T10:03:03-08:00 http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/physics/coursewikis/ph111/doku.php?id=days:spring2012daybyday:spring2012day4:exploring_reflection_phenomena&rev=1334250183 Emily wanted to address the use of the word “scatter” with her students. She demonstrated the difference in light reflecting off of shiny surfaces vs. rough surfaces by using a mirror and meter sticks. The students were able to observe the regular way that the light rays moved when reflected in a mirror, vs. the table (rough surface). Light rays make it directly to student's eye when flashlight is pointed towards the mirror text/html 2012-04-12T11:47:39-08:00 http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/physics/coursewikis/ph111/doku.php?id=days:spring2012daybyday:spring2012day4:monitoring_shadows&rev=1334256459 Every 15 minutes, alternating students from each group took a quick trip outside to monitor how the shadow created by a paperclip changes (works similarly to a a sundial). text/html 2012-12-01T00:59:43-08:00 http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/physics/coursewikis/ph111/doku.php?id=days:spring2012daybyday:spring2012day4:reflections&rev=1354352383 Student 1 Learned: How fabric affects how much light is reflected Wants to Know: Student 2 Learned: New terms like angle of incidence and angle of reflection Wants to Know: Student 3 Learned: About the light sensor and how it works Wants to Know: Who will be looking at our websites? text/html 2012-04-12T10:56:21-08:00 http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/physics/coursewikis/ph111/doku.php?id=days:spring2012daybyday:spring2012day4:start&rev=1334253381 Daily Schedule Monitoring Shadows Exploring Reflection Phenomena Continuing Exploration of the Reflection Phenomena Reflections
