Description

Embark on an exhilarating exploration of light energy and waves with this Light Energy and Waves Science Activity featuring flags of various countries. This hands-on lab offers students a visual and experiential understanding of the composition of white light, showcasing the astounding results when a red, white, and blue flag is observed on a blank white sheet of paper. Engage students in a meaningful exploration of color perception, white light, the entrance of light waves into the eye's pupil, and the fascinating separation of white light into the spectrum through prisms.

Designed for both biology and physical science contexts, this lab provides a comprehensive experience that extends beyond theoretical concepts. Students can effortlessly engage in this experiment at home or in the classroom, with options for print-and-go or assignments through Google Classroom™. The resource includes teacher notes, reproducible lab sheets and coloring sheets, Google Slides™ versions of student worksheets, post-experiment teacher notes with explanations, and extension activities. The simplicity of the instructions, requiring only three crayons, makes it an easy-to-implement hands-on lab for teachers.

Beyond the science lesson, this activity becomes a patriotic endeavor, fitting for various holidays such as Veteran's Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day (July 4th), September 11, and more. If you are not in the United States, there are also versions for Canada, UK, and Australia included.

With applications for distance learning, remote teaching, in-class laboratories, science centers, or science stations, this experiment seamlessly integrates into diverse educational settings, making science exploration both accessible and exciting for students.

What's Included?

  • Teacher notes
  • A reproducible lab sheet for your students
  • A reproducible coloring sheet for doing the experiment
  • Google Slides™ versions of all student worksheets which you can assign with Google Classroom™
  • Post-experiment teacher notes which explain what students will have observed, along with a kid-friendly explanation, and extension activities

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSS4-PS4-2
Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen. Assessment does not include knowledge of specific colors reflected and seen, the cellular mechanisms of vision, or how the retina works.
NGSS1-PS4-4
Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance. Examples of devices could include a light source to send signals, paper cup and string "telephones," and a pattern of drum beats. Assessment does not include technological details for how communication devices work.
NGSSMS-LS1-3
Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells. Emphasis is on the conceptual understanding that cells form tissues and tissues form organs specialized for particular body functions. Examples could include the interaction of subsystems within a system and the normal functioning of those systems. Assessment does not include the mechanism of one body system independent of others. Assessment is limited to the circulatory, excretory, digestive, respiratory, muscular, and nervous systems.
NGSS1-PS4-2
Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that objects can be seen only when illuminated. Examples of observations could include those made in a completely dark room, a pinhole box, and a video of a cave explorer with a flashlight. Illumination could be from an external light source or by an object giving off its own light.
NGSSHS-PS4-4
Evaluate the validity and reliability of claims in published materials of the effects that different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation have when absorbed by matter. Emphasis is on the idea that photons associated with different frequencies of light have different energies, and the damage to living tissue from electromagnetic radiation depends on the energy of the radiation. Examples of published materials could include trade books, magazines, web resources, videos, and other passages that may reflect bias. Assessment is limited to qualitative descriptions.
