Name: Spectra and Stars
Standard: Identify and compare characteristics of the electromagnetic spectrum such as wavelength, frequency, use, and hazards and recognize its application to an understanding of planter images and satellite photographs.
Objective: The students will be able to –
1. Recognize that white light is made up of a spectrum of many different colors.
2. Explain how different colors of light can be absorbed by colored filters.
Engage
1. Remembering- How would you define color?
2. Understanding- Can you explain why a colored filter shined by a light produces the same color of the filter?
3. Applying- What might happen if various colored light is overlapped?
4. Evaluating- Explain how white light is made …show more content…
Evaluating- Compare the first demonstration using flashlights to the demonstration using the spectroscope, which one better explained the composition of white light? Explain your answer.
5. Creating- Suppose you only wanted green and red light to only show, what could you construct to make this possible?
Elaborate
1. Remembering- Define what white light is composed of?
2. Understanding- Explain what would happen if you view an image through a colored filter?
3. Applying- How can you apply what you learned to explain what color you see when looking at the image?
4. Evaluating- What information could you use to explain why looking at the image through a colored filter only reflects back that color?
5. Creating- How could you modify this demonstration to show the spectrum of colors in white light?
Evaluate
1. Remembering- List what you learned about white light?
2. Understanding- Explain what happened in all three demonstrations, what did the results conclude about color reflection?
3. Applying- Explain in your own words what happens to white light when a colored filter in placed in front of it?
4. Evaluating- What information learned from the demonstrations would you use to support that white light is composed of all colors?
5. Creating- Which demonstration would you improve on and how would you go about doing
