Claim 1: Can light travel in a curved line? What evidence do you have?CFS:- Accurately identifies the type of light reactions that cause changes in objects
- Accurately describes the relationship between light interaction and outcomes

Lesson 3.1: Following the Path of Light
With a partner, discuss which types of light you think will pass through glass and which will pass through aluminum foil. Note your predictions below.
0
I predict that __________________________ will pass through glass.
I predict that __________________________ will pass through glass.
0
I predict that __________________________ will pass through aluminum foil.
I predict that __________________________ will pass through aluminum foil.
Instructions:
Investigate what happens when light hits glass and when light hits aluminum foil. Remember:
- If the light is taken in by the material, it is absorbed.
- If the light passes through the material, it is transmitted.
- If the light bounces off the material, it is reflected.
1. Open the Light Waves Simulation
2. Choose Custom and turn the light source on.
3. Drag GLASS to a platform in the testing area.
4. Move the slider to select different wavelength/types of light and test how they interact with glass.
5. Record the results below.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with ALUMINUM FOIL.

What evidence do you have to support why different materials have different outcomes when they interact with glass?CFS:- Accurately identifies the type of light reactions that cause changes in objects
- Accurately describes the relationship between light interaction and outcomes
"I think different materials have different outcomes when they hit glass because... "

In glass and aluminum, explain why different types of light react differently to the two types of material? (think: why does visible light react differently to aluminum than glass?)CFS:- Accurately identifies the type of light reactions that cause changes in objects
"I think visible light reacts differently with aluminum and glass because..."
