3/17: Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Hopefully you all are getting used to doing your work online now. Each day, I will write you a little message and update you on what you should be doing. :)
Today, you will be learning about Snell's Law. This is the refraction (or bending) of light as it travels from one medium to another (and no, not the size of your shirt... "medium" means the substance it is traveling through, like air, or water).
Have you ever put a pencil in a glass of water and noticed how it looks like the pencil is bending? The pencil isn't actually bending! That is the light playing a trick on your eyes. Also known as Snell's Law...
So today, check out the videos I have linked to, read through the notes, and work on solving the problems.
This is not "due" to me, but you will have an online quiz to take on Thursday.

Snell's Law Practice Problems

3/18: Hello and happy day 3 of online learning! I am changing the lab that I had on here today, so if you already printed or began working on the Snell's law lab that was previously posted, that is fine. I will accept that one. But, I wanted to put something a bit less intense on here today so that we focus on the basics. I don't want you to be overwhelmed with anything. If you are feeling like this is too much and I need to slow down on the work load, please reach out to me. I am open to feedback.
Have fun bending light on the lab today and don't forget to prepare for the online quiz tomorrow!

3/19: Today, you are to take the online quiz. I made it through quizizz.
to take the quiz, please go to https://quizizz.com/join?gc=381133
let me know if you have any issues!
You have one attempt and 1 minute per question.
Also, I have it set to read the questions aloud.

3/20: In the next portion of our unit, you will be learning is how light reacts to lenses and mirrors.
Let's slow down a bit and watch some videos today to really emphasize what you are learning.
First, watch these video on Optics: Crash Course Optics; Bill Nye Lenses; How do glasses work?
Second, look at the new formulas for Lenses and Mirrors: Lens and Mirror Equations
Third, play around with the Lens and Mirror simulation and make observations about what is happening with the image when you move the object around.
Nothing to turn in today. Mostly, I just want you to have some time to familiarize yourself with the next portion of the unit.

3/23: Hi class! I hope you had a good weekend and are staying safe and healthy! I miss seeing everyone; laughing at your jokes, and occasionally making you laugh at mine.
Today, I would like for you to watch the video I did for your notes by clicking on the link below that says Lens Notes Video.
You will only be watching and learning. Feel free to print the notes and follow along on the video.
In the next few days you will be practicing ray diagrams and solving practice problems, but for now, I want you to soak in all the new information.
As always, please contact me with any questions!

3/24: Today, you will be learning how to draw ray diagrams as light passes through lenses. The light refracts and forms an image of the object.
Watch the Ray Diagram Drawings Video I posted on YouTube to help you work through these drawings.
I also would like you to manipulate this online simulation to help you understand what the drawings should look like.
Nothing to turn in today... just more notes :)

3/25: Hi! Today, you will be practicing with the math portion of light refracting through lenses and creating an image.
I would suggest printing the incomplete worksheet, watch my help video (linked here), and work through some of these practice problems. Then, check your answers with the answer key I have posted.
If you could, send me a photo or email me your completed practice problems. Then I can try to make sure you are doing okay with what you all are doing at home. Again, if you have any questions, please text me!
We will have an online test on Friday over the Electromagnetic spectrum, Color, Snell's law, and Lenses. We will not test on anything regarding mirrors. So don't worry about that if you saw anything posted on my blog about mirrors.
I will post a link on tomorrow's post to a Zoom meeting for Thursday (3/26) at 11:00am, so we can review for the test and you can ask me any questions you may have on this unit. (I changed the time from 12:15 to 11:00 because of conflicts with other teachers meetings.)
Thank you! I hope you are doing well and having fun/working hard at home.

3/26: Happy Thursday! Today, you will want to review the entire Light Unit in order to prepare yourself for the test tomorrow.
My suggestion would be to work through the Light Test Review and see what you can answer on your own without any notes. Then, go back and use your notes and research to fill in the rest. I have posted the answers as well, but use that as last resort.
I will be hosting a Zoom test review meeting at 11:00am this morning.
Here is the info to join the meeting:

3/27: You will be taking the Light Unit test today. I am using quizizz.com as the testing platform.
You have one attempt to take the test and 5 minutes per question.
Good luck!
