Lab-Aids: Investigating Light Refraction and Lenses (Station approach) Kit
Working at this station, students use both convex and concave lenses to compare images and magnification. They measure the focal length of several lenses and then figure out how to construct a simple camera. The activities in this module (and in the related LAB-P104-S01, LAB-P104-S02, and LAB-P104-S03 modules) were originally part of longer units developed at the University of Kentucky. The station approach allows you to offer a variety of concurrent activities for different student groups.
This kit was written and designed by professors at the University of Kentucky.
Scientific Concepts:
- Light travels in a straight line.
- Light refracts from lenses in a predictable fashion with predictable results.
- Ideal companion for Kits LAB-P104-S01, LAB-P104-S02, and LAB-P104-S03.
