Light Interactions
This lesson is an introduction to a unit on the light and transverse waves. It can be utilized during a unit or at the beginning as an exploration. Students measure the speed of light in a medium (gelatin) by using an inexpensive laser such as a laser pointer or a laser level.

In this lesson, students uses a PhET simulation to investigate the types of energy and its conservation. They then perform an actual experiment to prove or disprove their findings from the simulation.
In this high school lesson, students will get the opportunity to engage in scientific research, studying sustainability and fuel options, while creating models to represent their knowledge.
This is the first lesson in a series of four that are designed to help guide students to design and implement their own independent STEM research project.
