Light: Stop Faking It! Finally Understanding Science So You Can Teach It
This resource from the Stop Faking It! Series helps teachers deepen their understanding of science concepts related to optics. The author addresses teachers' concerns about content and helps to fill in any gaps of understanding that may exist. Emphasis is on "getting" the science rather than on memorizing facts and formulas. This book explores ray, wave and particle models of light, reflection and refraction, optical instruments, polarization of light and interference and diffraction. A chapter about how the eye works is also included, as well as links throughout the book to websites. Each chapter includes a section entitled Things to Do before You Read the Science Stuff, as well as The Science Stuff. By addressing foundational concepts about light in an exploratory manner, this book helps to build background knowledge and understanding.
A light kit is enclosed with this book. It includes three colour gels (red, blue, yellow), three sheets of polarized film and one diffraction grating peephole.
