8k light

8i heating and cooling
8j magnets and electromagnets
8l sound
Here are the learning objectives for this topic:

I can
o  Draw what happens when a ray of light hits a plane mirror and label rays and angles
o Draw a diagram to show what happens when light passes through a glass block
o Draw a diagram to show what happens when white light passes through a prism
o Name the colours that white light is made of

I understand
o That luminous objects produce light
o That light is a type of wave that travels in straight lines
o That what we see is caused by our brain
o That light can be reflected by a mirror or other surface
o That light is refracted when it passes from a gas to liquid, gas to solid or vice versa
o That white light is made of many other colours
o That the primary colours of light are red, blue and green
o That other colours are made by mixing these colours
o That colour filters only let one colour through 
o Why objects have a colour

Here´s the link to Doc Brown´s 8K Quiz.

Here is a simulation about colour vision from PhET (you have to download the application)




this prezi has lots of interesting facts and information about light (Ignore the story at the end!)

here is a prezi about light (there are some more difficult bits!)

a funny old video from 1938 explaining how we see colour

how does night vision work? why is it green?
