Light and Optics Interactives
Light Terms Glossary Students use a PowerPoint template to provide
definitions, examples, and graphics for terms used in Unit 3, Light and Optical
Systems.
Light and Lenses
A Light Sampler Students will interact with the content of five different Web
sites, all of which deal with different "light and optical" concepts. They will then
choose one of the Web sites and evaluate it in terms of its usefulness, format,
content, as well as its applicability to the light and optical unit. An Edmonton
Public Schools ICT project.
Science, Optics and You Follow the links to explore some of the Java-based
interactive tutorials that reveal the mysteries of light and optical systems.
What is Light?
Internetconnect Topic 1
Optics for Kids Explore the basic concepts about light, and optics.
Penumbra Effect
This ExploreLearning Gizmo allows the user to gain an understanding of how
partial shadows are created. The simulation features multiple light sources and
adjustable light spacing. The width of the shadow-casting block and light distance
can also be changed and the resultant cast shadow observed. Screen shots may
be taken to record data. The resource includes an exploration guide and
assessment questions.
Reflection

Light and Optics Virtual labs and simulations for interactive learning. Lessons
and labs for reflection, refraction and lens optics.

Internetconnect Topic 5
Eyeball Challenge: Mission 1 Students investigate a range of animal eyes (dog,
cat, bee, fish, eagle and human) and discover that these animals see things in
different ways because their eyes have different structures. Students then find
their way through an ancient temple by choosing eyes suited to avoiding hazards
and solving puzzles.
Reading Between the Lines Using this interactive resource from The
Learning Federation, students can explore three of the more common types of
vision problems: myopia (short-sightedness) and hyperopia (far-sightedness).
The resource allows students to compare effects of corrective lenses on reading
at different distances. Students view a cross-section of the eye that illustrates
focal variations causing each vision problem. Glossary terms, background
information, and challenges to test and extend the student’s knowledge are also
included.
Far Out Lenses Using this interactive resource from The Learning
Federation, students can simulate building a telescope using two convex lenses
to look at the moon. Students first choose the focal length of the two lenses: the
eyepiece lens and the objective lens. They can then move the objective lens to
focus the telescope. The resource allows students to determine which lens pair
produces the greatest and least magnification. Background information and
glossary terms are also included.
Laser Eye Surgery Webquest
Simple Magnification A magnifying glass is a bi-convex lens. It is convex on both
sides, meaning that the glass is curved outward to form a dome. Things look
bigger looking through convex lenses.
Microscope Magnification
Eye Site Your one stop source of information about eyes. Topics include eye
anatomy, ailments, eye games and activities. Another net nugget from Mr. Slade.
The Eye: Structure And Function Students will research the diversity of eyes in
order to prepare an illustrated report about the eye of one type of animal.
Eye, Eye, Eye, Eye: Questions About Eyes
Whose Eye Is It Anyway?
Extending Human Vision
Internetconnect Topic 6
Microscope Magnification A microscope is a tool used by scientists to make
things appear larger than they really are. This site allows you to look at a variety
of specimens using different magnifications.
How Cameras Work Cameras combine optical, chemical and mechanical
processes in a simple, yet amazing device. Get inside a single lens reflex
camera.
How Night Vision Works Learn how night-vision goggles work.
The Source of Colours
Internetconnect Topic 7
Additive Color v2 This ExploreLearning Gizmo allows the user
manipulate the intensity of simulated spotlights in primary colours (red, green,
and blue) and observe the resulting secondary colours which comprise the
remainder of the visible spectrum. The RGB values of the overlapping areas are
measurable. The resource includes an exploration guide and assessment
questions.
Subtractive Color v2 This ExploreLearning Gizmo allows users to move
spots of yellow, cyan, and magenta paint on a white surface. As the colours
overlap, other colours can be seen due to colour subtraction. The intensity of the
cyan, magenta, and yellow can be adjusted, and the RGB (red, green, blue)
values at any location can be measured. An exploration guide and assessment
questions are included.
Resolution and Colour Depth
Mix n Match You can mix just three colors of light to make over 16 million
different colors!

Subtractive Primary Colours Java Tutorial
Single Filter Emission Java Applet This applet allows you to place a single, pure
colored filter on a lamp. The lamp's light can be set by three scroll bars (red,
green, and blue). The color of the filter can be selected.
Colour In Dots Discover how colour pictures in magazines are produced using
tiny coloured dots.
Colour Wheels Optical illusions based on movement can be constructed in a
variety of ways. Here we explore color wheels (with adjustable speeds) using
simple patterns that create some spectacular optical illusions.
