Exploring Light and Lenses: Laser Classroom Activity #
In this activity students are introduced to and explore gelatin lenses and lights. They use cookie cutters to cut gelatin into concave and convex shapes. Students shine lights through their gelatin shapes. Students observe the effects of passing light through gelatin lenses. Students repeat their explorations, changing the shape or orientation of their lenses, or a combination of both. Students record their work for each combination of light, lens, and lens orientation, making drawings of an

Investigating Newton's Third Law of Motion MS PS2-1
Students move through five stations that guide them to “discover” Newton’s third law (GOOGLE and PDF versions). Students then complete a summary worksheet where they identify the action and reaction involved for each station. Next they apply their knowledge of Newton’s third law to three new situations. This can be used as a formative assessment of student understanding.These activities support the NGSS standard MS PS2-1 Easily obtainable materials are used for these stations.Possible student re
