This resource guides students through the exploration of light's behavior as it travels through different materials, particularly focusing on how prisms bend light to create rainbows. It outlines the learning goals, vocabulary specific to the topic (such as refraction and prism), and offers a structured investigation into the effects of light on various states of matter (solids, liquids, and gases). Through hands-on activities, students can predict and observe how white light and red light behave when passing through a prism, alongside a comparison of light speed in different materials. The document also includes questions and activities that test understanding and encourage critical thinking about the behavior of light.
