Description
PHYZ
This is part of the classroom curriculum I developed for use with my high school physics students.
LAB
Students will be working with something while completing this assignment. In this case, a hand-held convex/concave mirror such as Arbor Scientific's P2-7144.
SPRINGBOARD
The instructor guides students through this activity via classroom discussion. The one works well as a group-based activity with a few whole-class announcements from time to time. This is not intended as a homework or independent activity.
MIRROR EXPEIENCE
The activity guides students through the image possibilities as they observe their own image in a spherical mirror.
