  • EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING...science in Ancient Greece by investigating optical science


    Kia ora year 9s, this week we will be exploring light further by looking at reflection in curved mirrors and beginning to learn about refraction.

    Success Criteria: 

    • I can identify concave and convex mirrors
    • I can draw reflective light rays from concave and convex mirrors
    • I can define refraction
    • I can draw a refractive diagram
    • I can describe examples of phenomena caused by refraction
    Activities:
    1. Curved mirrors ray box task
    2. Refraction diagram
    3. Refraction beaker task
