Bending Light - Teacher's Guide
This PDF document provides the teacher with detailed information relating to the "Bending Light" PhET simulation. It includes instructions on how to use the controls within the simulation, explains how the simulation determines angles and beam intensities, provides insights into student use of the simulation and what they might be thinking as they play, and shares suggestions on how to teach using the simulation.
The simulation described by this resource can be used to investigate refraction of light through a boundary or a prism, as well as total internal reflection.
