Description:
First impressions last - How are you
introducing light & color?
Created by award-winning physics teacher and author Chris Chiaverina, the
Light and Color Learning Cycle Pack gives you everything you'll need to allow
your students to explore light and color phenomena in a way they'll never
forget!
The type of open-ended exploration supported by the Light and Color Learning
Cycle Pack puts the phenomena first. Such exploration allows students to ask
“what if…?” while giving them a common base of concrete experiences that can
later be used by the teacher to formally introduce a concept, process, or skill.
The Light and Color Learning Cycle Pack contains all manipulatives needed to
set up 11 exploration stations, station questions and prompts designed to
initiate investigation and guide inquiry, and teacher notes on best practices
for using the Learning Cycle in your classroom.
Kit Includes:
-
The
Shadow Screen - A giant 24 inch sheet of phosphorescent vinyl and a
powerful flash unit allow students to study shadow formation by examining
shadows “frozen in time” on a glowing screen. Use the screen with or without
its adhesive backing.
- Glowing Reverse mask - Students will surely marvel at this perceptual
puzzler. A glowing face will mysteriously follow their every move while
challenging their understanding of visual perception. Included are a white
face mask, florescent paint set, and display instructions.
- Color Shadows - Students can explore color addition and colored shadows
using three hand held mini projector lights which come with primary and
secondary color filters.
- Polarization Station - Students explore polarized light with the Bogus
Barrier or Polarized Tape art activity. Included are two large sheets of
polarizing film and instruction for both activities.
- Ghostly Apparition - Includes a
3D
Mirascope, a flying saucer-shaped device consisting of two concave
mirrors facing one another. A small object placed on the surface of the
lower produces a floating 3D image! When you try to touch the image, your
finger passes right though it! This is a great device for initiating
interest in image formation by mirrors.
-
Mysterious Glowing Ball - Turn on the ball and it appears as being lit
with white light. However, when you swing it around the white light
separates into red, green and blue. This is a great device for illustrating
additive color addition.
- Light Wave Communication - Transmit voice and music over a light beam
with this light wave communication system. Just plug the LED light module
into the output of your portable sound source to produce a modulated beam of
light. Students will be amazed to hear sound when the modulated beam strikes
a solar cell/speaker module. Absolutely amazing!
- Subtractive Color - Using six colored filters, students can study the
transmission and absorption of light as well as subtractive color mixing.
Includes primary and secondary filters.
color filters kit.
-
UV Beads - Using these ultraviolet light sensitive beads, students can
identify sources of UV light, discover which materials absorb UV light, and
test the effectiveness of sun screens. Includes 200 pack of UV Beads and
UV
light Source.
-
Jelly Marbles - Includes 40g pack of Jelly Marbles (aka. Grow Lenses)
When these marbles are placed in water, they become invisible! Use with a
laser pointer to explore refraction & internal reflection.
-
Rainbow Glasses - These glasses demonstrate the effects of diffraction
while allowing students to study spectra. Includes a 10 pack of diffraction
glasses.
