    Reflection Lesson Plan

    Uploaded by

    Sean O'Reilly
    This lesson plan aims to teach students about light reflection through a practical experiment. The objectives are to describe what happens when light hits a mirror, define reflection, and explain why mirrors reflect so well. The lesson involves reviewing prior knowledge, defining key terms like angle of incidence and reflection, and conducting an experiment using mirrors, a ray box, and colored slips to observe how light reflects off flat, concave, and convex mirrors. Students are asked to measure and draw the reflection patterns, discuss their findings, and provide feedback on what they learned through a worksheet.

    o What do we know about mirrors?


    o What happens when light hits a mirror?
    o Why do they reflect light?
    o Why do they do it so well?
    o
    o Starting Questions
    o In what direction does it bounce off of the mirror?
    o How do you know? It is always like this?
    o If light hits the mirror straight on, how will it bounce off?
    o What if it hits at an angle like this? (demonstrate on overhead)
    o How could we test our predictions?
    o What happens if light hits a mirror then another mirror

    Some important terms in reflection are the angle of incidence, the angle
    of reflection. The angle of incidence is the angle at which light strikes
    the surface and the angle of reflection is the angle at which the light is
    reflected from that surface. It is important to note that the angle of
    incidence and the angle of reflection are the same. When light bouncing
    off a surface is being described it is often described using the word
    “bounce” it is actually more accurate to say that the light ray turns back
    after hitting the reflective surface. A surface that causes light to
    bounce back is called a reflective surface, these images often appear
    behind the surface in question, for example when a person stands in front
    of a mirror it appears that the image is behind the mirror this is called a
    virtual image. Objects are visible to the human eye because of the ability
    to absorb and reflect different wavelengths of colour. Some of the
    colours are determined by the ability to absorb the wavelengths and
    reflect different wavelengths; the reflection of sound from a surface is
    called an echo.

    Drawing
    Paper
    Pencils,
    Coloured slips

    Method

    1. Put drawing paper on table


    2. Plug in Ray Box
    3. Set up ray box on drawing paper.
    4. Put desired Coloured strip inside.
    5. Turn it on and manipulate the light.
    6. Experiment with a flat mirror
    7. Experiment with convex and concave
    8. Try to measure angle of incidence and angle of reflection.
    9. Draw the patterns that the concave and convex lens create
    10. What happens when you reflect into a convex then a concave lens?
    11. Discuss findings and results

    Discuss Results Elizabeth 5mins

    o Why do you think mirrors bounce or reflect light so well?


    o In what way does the reflected light from a mirror act like a
    bouncing ball?
    o Do you think this would be equally true if you used other shiny
    surfaces?
    o Was it difficult to measure the approaching angle and
    reflecting angel of light? How did you try/do this?
    o What light designs did you make with your mirrors?
    o What happens if use both a concave and convex lens?
    o Do you think there is a limit in reflecting light through the use
    of mirrors?
    o Can everything reflect light?

    Glossary

    Concave: A lens that curves inwards, it is a diverging lens.


    Convex: A lens that curves outwards, it is a converging lens.
