| Description | Light provides an important context for studying about the world in which we live. This topic can be researched in many disciplines, including biology, math, and physics. This module focuses on the seasonal characteristics of light and its affects on our earth and living systems. The lessons can be accomplished by direct hands-on field and laboratory investigations using graphing calculators, CBL, and other scientific equipment. Students will use Excel and Mathematica to investigate the physical properties of light. The students will model and analyze data collected during the investigations. |
