Audience: This lesson is designed for middle school physics students. Student will have a working knowledge of navigating websites and posting to wikis and blogs.
Content: In this website module students will begin to explore the discipline of optics. Optics is the study of light. Optics is one area of concentration within the larger field of physics. Physics examines all matter and its movement. This website is dedicated to allowing students to discover the answers to some common optical phenomena. Students will explore questions such as: What causes light to bend? What causes light to reflect off water? What causes a rainbow?
