This activity focuses on practical application of concepts discussed in Units 1 and 2 through the analysis of measured or provided field datasets. Students will follow experimental procedures to measure gravity ...
Optics Lab part of Integrate:Workshops and Webinars:Teaching About Earth Online Workshop:Activities
Eliza Richardson, Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus
In this activity, students will calculate the index of refraction of water by measuring the angles of incidence and refraction of light as it passes from air to water. They will follow directions to set up the ...
