Complete the assignments below. Yellow is Must-Do, green is Should-DO, and cyan is Strive-to-Do.
At the end of each unit will be a review activity, followed by the test. Everyone will participate in the review activity and test at the same time. Occasionally, we will need to have a whole class lab to conserve space, time, or supplies.
All activities should be completed cooperatively with 1 partner, unless otherwise noted.
Before asking Mr. Skapetis a question, you must ask 3 classmates your question. If they do not sufficiently answer your question, then you may ask. It's not that he doesn't want to help you, but this policy frees him to reteach and grade the steady flow of work.
If there seems to be a glitch in my system or thinking, please let me know so this can be a smooth process going forward.

Objectives:
I can define refraction and explain how light bends when it passes from one medium to another.
I can identify how the angle of incidence and the refractive indices of different materials affect the bending of light.
I can use Snell's Law to calculate the angle of refraction when light moves between two different media.
I can observe and describe how light refracts through different materials like water, glass, and acrylic lenses.
I can identify and explain real-world examples of refraction, such as in lenses, prisms, and optical fibers.
See if you can answer all of the questions correctly for each level
Objectives:
I can describe the characteristics of thin lenses, including convex and concave shapes.
I can explain how thin lenses bend light to form images.
I can use the lens equation to calculate the position and size of images formed by thin lenses.
I can differentiate between real and virtual images produced by convex and concave lenses.
I can identify practical applications of thin lenses in devices like cameras, eyeglasses, and microscopes.
I can draw ray diagrams to predict the location and nature of images formed by thin lenses.
