Science 8

Today we reviewed some questions from the Properties of Visible Light worksheet.  Make sure you review these questions before tomorrow's quick question quiz.

Next we looked at how light is reflected by concave and convex mirrors.  We did the lab on page 187.  Make sure you have your ray diagrams (one per group) as well as the Analyze (#1-3) and Conclude and Apply (#2).    Finish these questions off for homework.
