What is our Light and Matter Unit phenomenon?
Which of the following is NOT an example of a related phenomenon?

A system is a related group of objects or components that interact, and we use them to explain science. Which of the following is NOT an important part of the one-way mirror system?
True or False? The box system is a model of the one-way mirror system.
When developing a Driving Question Board, it is important to come up with questions that will help us understand the phenomenon. Some questions may not be related and may not be as helpful. Which of the following questions is BEST related to understanding how a one-way mirror works?
When the light was switched on in the dark room (previous window side) and switched off in the room with the light (previous mirror side), what happened?
In order to see any object, what has to happen?
What does it mean for light to “reflect”?
What does it mean for light to “transmit”?
Observe the model below of the amount of light reflecting and transmitting through a material. Use the key to help you choose which of the following materials this model BEST represents.

The sample data below represents similar data we collected during our unit. Which of the following materials BEST matches the following data?

Which statement below explains why the teacher is able to see the music student through the one-way mirror?
What is the BEST piece of evidence we have that the one-way mirror’s material is the same on both sides?
We used a magnifying glass to model how light refracts when it enters our eyes and passes through the lens. Why is a magnifying glass a great tool to demonstrate this? Pick the BEST answer.
Why doesn’t the music student see the teacher even though light is reflecting off of her, transmitting through the one-way mirror, and into the student’s eyes?
How is a one-way mirror made differently than a regular mirror?
Light interacts with objects in different ways. Based on our data, which material reflects the most light?
Light interacts with objects in different ways. Based on our data, which material transmits the most light?
Light interacts with objects in different ways. Based on our data, which material reflected a little bit of light?
Which of the following claims can we make based on our investigation in Lesson 3?
We read about how regular mirrors and one-way mirrors are made. How are one-way mirrors made differently than regular mirrors?
What characteristic about one-way mirrors allows light to transmit?
The words “opaque” and “transparent” were in our mirror reading. Opaque materials ____________ transmit light, while transparent materials ____________ transmit light.
True or False? Materials can be made of different structures that cause different amounts of light to transmit through or reflect off of it.
Which is the correct path of light for the music teacher to see the student?
What object did we use to model the function of the lens in our eyes?
Select the correct path of light through our eyes to see.
We observed Images Sets in our unit (see below). Which statement below explains why Image B is more visible.
Based on what we have learned in this unit, which statement below BEST explains why the music student does not see the teacher?
When light hits a one-way mirror, the light
Glass is
When light bounces, it ______, when light bends it ______, and when light passes through, it ______.
_______ matter is clear and can be seen through.

A regular mirror is an example of a material that is because it doesn't allow light to pass through it.
are made up of parts of a phenomenon (for example: a one-way mirror, lights, objects, and two rooms).
When light hits glass, more light than .
are helpful because they represent something in the real world that we can study to gain a better understanding.
When light moves from the air and through a different transparent material, it changes direction and .
Light is focused by the and onto your retina so you can see your reflection in a one-way mirror.
What can be concluded about light and vision from the class investigations?
What causes someone to be nearsighted?
Why does the iris change the size of the pupil?
Based on the inputs to their eyes, what would the music student expect to see?
What is the purpose of the silver layer and black backing behind the glass on a regular mirror?
The silver grid on the front of the one-way mirror allows...
