Be sure to bring these with you to class on Monday!

Students will be able to:
use information from videos from the internet, GIZMOs, and classroom discussions to
-investigate how colored shadows combine red, blue and green light to make white light.

The do now was to answer questions from the Mastering the FCAT booklet.

Students received the question set for Exam 2, which can be found at the top of this blog.

Students explored the additive properties of color and light, by doing the GIZMO additive colors of the pHET simulation color vision. If you do have a user name and password for GIZMO, go to the www.explorelearning.com site, type them in and do the activity. Be sure to write down the RGB values for EACH color you make. Record the color also. Try to make the seven colors of the visible light spectrum.

If you do not have a GIZMO account, you can email me for your account information. If your GIZMO account does not work, please use the pHET site. Copy the following into the URL address: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/color-vision. Then, click the green run now button. Let the program load, and then move the sliders. Record the colors made and the position of the sliders (1/4, 1/2. 3/4, full, etc.)
