    Study Notes

    Day 1: Importance of Science

    • Science is important.

    Waves and Their Applications

    • Unit 1, Module L covers waves and their applications.

    Standard MS-PS4-2

    • Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.

    Day 2- Day to Day Application of Refraction and Lab

    • Simulations on refraction
    • Everyday applications of refraction
    • Explanation of optical illusions
    • Investigating refraction in different mediums

    Vocabulary

    • Optical illusion

    Starter

    • Illusion is a deceptive or pretended appearance or impression.

    What is Optical Illusion?

    • Refraction causes optical illusions.
    • The perceived position of an underwater object is different from its actual position.
    • Light doesn't travel in a straight line when passing through mediums with different densities.
    • Our brains interpret light as traveling in a straight line.
