Test and Observer: Follow steps from the lab sheet. Conclusion: The light passing through the air slows down when it enters the water. The water caused the light to bend or refract and make the straw look bent. When a light beam strikes a cup of water, it changes direction or bends. This is called refraction. 3 AIMS Activity: Light Rays Slow Down pp. 205 - 209. Slide Explain: Have participants add the refraction 12 property to their LGO. What different mediums did the light pass through? Air, plastic, water What property do all of these objects have in common? They’re transparent. Explain: If time allows use the hyperlink to take the participants on a virtual refraction tutorial that elaborates and allows for clarifications. What ways have people found to use Extend: bent light? Magnifying glass, eye glasses, telescopes, microscopes Slide Can pictures be examples of any other forms 13 of energy?
