Additional Learning Tools and Resources
Watching a presentation is a passive activity. Getting information is important ... but it's not the destination or end point. Now that you've watched the video, its time to do something with the information you've heard. It's time to act on it. The resources below provide an opportunity to do this. We encourage learners to solidify their learning through the use of one or more of the following resources.
Concept Builders, Reflection and Refraction Chapter: Law Enforcement - Refraction
Concept Builders will help do what it's name boasts of - build a concept. This Concept Builder may be your best next step after the video. Use information about relative speed, optical density and n value to identify any diagram that displays the wrong direction of bending. You're going to have to think ... and thinking is good for you.
Minds On Physics, Refraction and Lenses Module, Mission RL2
Student persistence with Minds On Physics combined with reflective thinking and the use of our Help function will put any student at the top of the class. This mission pertains to the speed of light and the direction of bending.
Minds On Physics, Refraction and Lenses Module, Mission RL3
Student persistence with Minds On Physics combined with reflective thinking and the use of our Help function will put any student at the top of the class. This mission pertains to optical density, the n value, and the direction of bending.
Physics Interactive, Refraction and Lenses Chapter, Refraction Simulation
Sometimes you learn best by playing. And our simulations allow you to do just that. Our Refraction simulation allows you to explore the variables that impact the amount and direction of refraction occuring at a boundary.
The Physics Classroom Tutorial, Refraction and the Ray Model of Light, Lesson 1, Direction of Bending
Our written tutorial pages form the basis of most videos. So when you need a quick reference, the Tutorial page is a great place to start. This page provides coverage of the first several slides of the video.
