LEARNING PROGRESSIONS

● I can explore the ways in which light paths can be altered by plane mirrors. ● I can explore the ways in which light paths can be altered by curved mirrors. ● I can explore Snell’s Law of Refraction, light refection, and the dispersion of light. ● I can explore how lenses form images and their usage in optical devices. ● I can explain how light

Standard PHYS.4.2 Engage in argument based on evidence that electromagnetic radiation can be described either by a wave model or a particle model, and that for some situations one model better explains interactions within a system than the other. Emphasize how the experimental evidence supports the claim and how models and explanations are modifed in light of new evidence. Examples could include resonance, interference, diffraction, or the photoelectric effect. (PS4.A, PS4.B)
