Does light have energy?
by Dustin Blake
Does light have energy? Students will engage in a practical experiment to witness how light can induce changes such as heating, altering colors, and setting objects in motion. As homework, students will respond to statements in an Anticipation Guide, designed to gauge their existing knowledge about light, which they will revisit periodically in the course of this lesson (and unit). The central goals of this lesson are to provide students with an opportunity to articulate their initial thoughts and cultivate an understanding that light is a carrier of energy.
