What you’ll teach

Clear goals. Useful learning.

  • Students will explain that white light contains the colors of the visible spectrum.
  • Students will describe how refraction separates white light through a prism.
  • Students will identify the colors of the spectrum in wavelength order.
  • Students will relate colors to approximate wavelengths measured in nanometers.
