Light and Optics I Can... Statement

LEARNING OUTCOMES:  
I CAN:
    • Identify the properties of light
    • Investigate light beams and optical devices, and identify phenomena that provides evidence of the nature of light.
    • Investigate how light is reflected, transmitted and absorbed by different materials
    • Measure and predict angles of reflection
    • Investigate, describe and measure the refraction of light through different materials
    • Investigate materials used in optical technologies, and predict changes in their material 
    • Demonstrate how images are formed using double convex lenses, and predict what would happen if the position of the lens were changed.
    • Describe the human eye and how it compares to a camera
    • Compare mammalian eyes with other organisms
    • Describe how vision problems are corrected
    • Describe the development of new technologies to enhance human vision.
    • Explain how reflection and refraction are used in various optical devices
    • Describe technologies for storing and transmitting images in a digital form.
    • Investigate the development of microscopes and telescopes, and describe how these developments contributes to the study of light and other areas of science.

April 8th -18th

Students explored simple machines and the uses of simple machines in complex machines. They had to complete a Rube Goldberg cartoon which was due Monday, April. 15th.  Students then investigated Work, Mechanical Advantage, Speed Ratio, and Efficiency. Thursday April 18th they completed a topic 1-3 quiz.  Students will begin looking at Force and Pressure when they are back from the long weekend.  If students completed all in class work than there is no homework over the long weekend.
