Description
This is a fully editable lab sheet for students with instructions for the teacher. In this lab on light and color, students will make observations and predictions about how different colors of emitted light will affect how our brains interpret color. Students observe 3 different colors under red and blue light.
Students will use their knowledge of wavelengths to explain why humans see colors differently under different light sources
Materials needed:
- 2 shoe boxes
- Red holiday lights
- Blue holiday lights
Other options: small boxes, red and blue light bulbs, or red and blue cellophane wrap.
Students will use Claim Evidence and Reasoning statements to explain their observations under the colored light sources, as well as white light.
Students are expected to use appropriate vocabulary (white light, wavelength, emit, reflect, absorb) in their reasoning statements.
