This is a guide for an introductory workshop on geometric optics and the ray model of light. It was developed to provide K-8 teachers with an inquiry-based learning experience for exploring light reflection and refraction, concave and convex lenses, and absorption. The workshops have been discontinued, but teachers may now freely download all the materials and work at an individual pace. Upon completion, it is anticipated that teachers will be better prepared to introduce concepts involving mirror reflection, magnification, prisms, simple lenses, and the Greenhouse Effect.
This item is part of Operation Primary Physical Science (OPPS), an NSF-funded project to create science workshops for elementary teachers.
