UVa-JLab Light & Optics III Overview The course is
appropriate for physical science and high school physics teachers. No calculus is required. The light and optics activities include a kit
which we provide and you supplement with low cost easily available
materials from home and hardware stores. The material is selected so that the
teacher will be able to use these activities in their own classroom that are consistent with Virginia
SOLS. Teachers can earn 3 graduate credits after completing all requirements of
the course. Each Lab consists of several activities with data
taking and several questions to answer. Labs will be submitted, graded, and
returned. The activities
are designed to take a teacher from the very basics of light and optics such as
light rays and shadows, mirrors and lenses, and to interference and
diffraction. Videos of the instructor conducting selected activities are
available to assist the in-service teachers in the workshop and online. |
