15. Mapping Prev 98 Standards vs. NGSS Discipline Specific Standards  Tasks:  What are the Old 98 Standards for your subject?  How do the NGSS Disc Specific standards compare?  Cut out your grade level CA 98 State Standards  Cut out the NGSS Performance Expectations at your grade level  Paste them on the Grade Level/Subject Area in a T chart  Compare not Align

17. LASER JELL-O

18. PRETHINK – QUICK WRITE - DISCUSSION Draw a picture of light as it strikes a material. Describe what happens when light strikes a material? Share your model with your partner.

19. At Your Table Discuss What are lasers? How do they work? How are they used?

20. Laser Jell-O Play with the lasers and the Jell-O. Shine the light into the different Jell- O and observe the phenomena. With your partner record your observations and your questions in your notebooks. Each table has two sets of materials and one red laser pointer and one green to share. Be careful not to look directly into the Lasers, be careful where the beam is pointed.

21. Laser Jell-O - EXPLORATION What are the fates of the light in each of three colors of Jell-O?

22. Laser Jell-O – CONTENT DEBRIEF What is transmittance? What is refraction? What is reflection? What is absorption?

23. Fates of Light

27. Debrief How is this approach potentially different than previous lessons? Have a elbow partner discussion.

29. Mapping NGSS Preferred Integrated vs. NGSS Discipline Specific Standards  Tasks:  How do the NGSS Disc Specific standards compare to Integrated?  Cut out your grade NGSS Disc Specific standards  Cut out the NGSS Preferred Integrated standards at your grade level  Paste them on the Grade Level/Subject Area in a T chart  Compare not Align
