Introduce waves in an engaging way, as students investigate two challenge prompts relating to amplitude, frequency, wavelength and wave speed. Slides include activities to consolidate learning.
Students use the simulation to conduct an investigation into the relationship between frequency, wavelength and wave speed, discovering how wave speed in a medium usually remains constant.
Students investigate convex and concave lenses. Teach the rules for drawing ray diagrams using the simulation, as students receive immediate feedback about whether their ray diagram is correct.
Use PhET's graphics and a set of suggested questions to help explain the complicated topic of Black Body Radiation. Also includes questions to use when discussing the related Greenhouse Effect simulation.
Students use the simulation to discover the primary and secondary colours of light. Includes extra information to help clarify misconceptions students may have relating to the primary colours of paint.
