We are shifting our thinking about light rays and are beginning to discuss the idea of light traveling in a wavy line (still moving in a straight direction). In this model, visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). The electromagnetic spectrum also includes bigger and smaller waves, and Emily asked the students to … text/html 2012-05-15T09:38:49-08:00 http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/physics/coursewikis/ph111/doku.php?id=days:spring2012daybyday:spring2012day13:daily_schedule&rev=1337099929 9:30 - 10:15 Observing and Discussing the Sun and Moon 10:15 - 10:30 Finalizing Plans for Field Trip to Elementary School 10:30 - 11:20 Considering Influences and Implications of Light and Thermal Phenomena on World Climate 11:20 - 11:30 Writing 11:30 - 11:50 Reflecting text/html 2012-12-01T02:01:10-08:00 http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/physics/coursewikis/ph111/doku.php?id=days:spring2012daybyday:spring2012day13:observing_and_discussing_the_sun_and_moon&rev=1354356070 Today's discussion began by discussing each group's question they wanted to explore by observing the moon: Is moon predictable? Does it travel? It was hard to tell if it was moving and to check on the moon every hour. How does the size of the moon change? The weather was usually overcast which made it difficult to see the moon. When I saw the moon, the right side was lit. Look at the moon morning, noon, and night to see how the shape of the moon's shape changed. It appears that the moon is… text/html 2012-12-01T02:02:10-08:00 http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/physics/coursewikis/ph111/doku.php?id=days:spring2012daybyday:spring2012day13:reflections&rev=1354356130 Student 1 Learned: Greenhouse effect Wants to Know: Don't understand why infrared radiation can't escape.
