Program Description
During this telecast we will demonstrate, illustrate, and discuss many of the different aspects, theories, and properties of light and color using objects both here in the studio and in the classroom. Roy G Biv will be introduced to your students and explain his importance to white light. To make your students' experience more enjoyable, we recommend that you have the following supplies per student or group of students: • 2 clear plastic drinking glasses • a supply of water a penny • pencils • 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of paper • 3" X 5" rectangular piece of paper • a ruler • bubble solution • straws • 3 mirrors (2 upright at an angle and the other on the bottom - all 3 taped together)
Program Format
1. Light: Refraction/Reflection/Angles2. Eye and Brain coordination3. Persistence of Vision/Color Perception/Eye muscle4. Angle of Reflection5. Bubbles and Surface tension
Objectives
To demonstrate through experimentation how light waves travel through the medium of air and water. Observe how the viewers perception of an object changes when the viewing medium changes and angle of viewing changes.To show what happens when you look at objects with one or both eyes and how your dominant eye (if you have one) influences what you see.To show results of viewing an object that is influenced by light conditions, movement, and the duration of the movement and viewing.Observe the results when reflected images are seen by human eye.To explain what a bubble is, how it forms and how various colors form and change as the wall of a bubble is affected by gravity.
