Teacher Resources
The Physics Classroom has been devoted to helping students, teachers, and classrooms since the 1990s. We are as passionate about that mission now as we have ever been. If you are a teacher of Physics or Physical Science, we encourage you to use our Video Tutorial with your students. And we also encourage you to consider the use of other resources on our website that coordinate with the video. We have listed a few below to help you get started.
Curriculum Corner, Light and Color Section
Our free curriculum provides a great tool for skilled teachers to use with students within the classroom. Either as independent practice or group work, our
Think Sheets provide an exceptional means of processing the ideas in this video. Try this Think Sheet as a follow-up to the video:
Light Waves and Matter
Physics Interactive: Electromagnetic Spectrum Infographic
Eye Candy! And lots of it. A textbook full of information packed into a single infographic ... that has been made interactive. Culture some curiosity with this interactive. Try the
downloadable student activity sheet as a guide.
Concept Builder, Light and Color: Spectrum
Our Concept Builders are one of the best things that students can do to solidfy their learning. Give this one a try! Encourage students to use the
Lesson Notes as needed.
Minds On Physics, Light and Color Module, Mission LC1
If you want to give students an engaging Physics work out, then you will find Minds On Physics to be the perfect weight room. Mission LC1 is closely correlated with this video. Encourage students to use the textbook icon for help.
Science Reasoning Center, Light Waves, Electromagnetic Spectrum
As we know, science is more than a collection of facts. It's a way of thinking and reasoning about the world. Try this activity to improve students' scientific reasoning skills while learning about the EM Spectrum.
Physics Classroom Tutorial, Light and Color Chapter, Electromagnetic and Visible Light Spectrum
The Tutorial section of our website explains and illustrates Physics concepts in an easy-to-understand language and a logical manner. This page provides close, written support for this video lesson. Consider linking to the page from your course management system.
