"Virtual Labs: Light"

These virtual light experiments allow students to use lasers and optical tools to safely investigate the nature of light, reflection and mirrors, refraction and lenses, and the color of light. Includes over 40 lab worksheets and meets national standards for Science Education.

Special features include reference materials from the World Book Encyclopedia and Virtual Manipulatives that help students make the connection between concrete and abstract concepts.

Features

• Accurate, Easy-to-Use Simulations
  Using a high-powered laser-table simulator built on mathematical modeling technology, students can safely and accurately observe and investigate the behavior of rays, the properties of reflection and refraction, and the colors of light.
• Exploratory Virtual Tool "Hands-on" learning is a great way to teach science! Using the tools available in the Virtual Laboratory, students can readily expand on the worksheet labs to create their own experiments.
• Scientific Skills Development
  Students build and practice thinking skills-observation, prediction, deductive reasoning, conceptual modeling, theory building, and hypothesis testing-as they experiment with the properties of light.
• Virtual Manipulatives®
  By manipulating lenses, mirrors, prisms, filters, mixers, splitters, and light-absorbing barriers to interact with laser beams, students can clearly see the abstract concepts of reflection, refraction, and color mixing in action.
• Multimedia Reference Materials
  Quick-reference pullouts, an interactive Sci-Clopedia, and over 50 World Book™ Encyclopedia articles allow students to expand their inquiries, investigate related topics, and gather ideas for further explorations of light.
