Lab-Aids: Investigating Light - Colors and Energy (Station approach) Kit
Working at this station, students compare and contrast the effects of different combinations of colored filters and different combinations of colored light. Students then explore the energy contained in different colors of light in both pre-designed and self designed investigations. Four student activities will take a total of between four and eight 50-minute sessions to complete. The activities in this module (and in the related LAB-P104-S01, LAB-P104-S03, and LAB-P104-S04 modules) were originally part of longer units developed at the University of Kentucky. The station approach allows you to offer a variety of concurrent activities for different student groups.
This kit was written and designed by professors at the University of Kentucky.
Scientific Concepts:
Visible light contains one or more colors of the visible spectrum.
Different colors of light have different properties, including energy, and colors can be removed and combined to achieve different effects.
