You will be going to 12 stations, at each
station there will be a mini-lab. Follow
the instructions at the lab and in your
notebook record the following. You do
not have to do the labs in order:
1. The number of the lab
2. Describe what you observe
3. Answer any questions from the labs’
sheet
4. Describe the concept learned from
what you observed—especially
describe what characteristic of light
you are seeing.
5. Apply the concept to what this
means to everyday use or how this
characteristic of light is useful.
