Title In/Post-Class Activity, Bending Light, PhET
Description This is a 60 to 90 min. worksheet related to the concept of refraction and reflection with conceptual questions and simulations activities. Students can observe, examine, explore and connect the simulations to the concepts and would have a better understanding of bending/refracting light rays in various media with different indices.
