LAB-AIDS ASC Modules: Investigating Light

Light and shadows go together and play an important role in how we perceive the world. The simplest optical phenomenon is a shadow. They occur because light always travels in straight lines away from its source, and because light interacts with matter.

Shadows are almost always present, but most of us haven’t ever stopped to interpret them as evidence of light’s varied interactions with matter, measure them or understand how their size and other characteristics are consequences of the straight-line nature of light.

In this module, students are asked to complete six investigations:

Investigation 1
Exploring the behavior of shadows and the straight line nature of light

Investigation 2
Characterizing shadows and the effect of different light sources

Investigation 3
Working with light beams, and examining light’s interactions with matter

Investigation 4
Quantifying the size of a shadow

Investigations 5 & 6
2 investigations apply shadows to graphically and mathematically determine unknown sizes of objects

Light sources are required to perform these activities.
