This week we will be doing activities based on understanding the Doppler Effect and how it relates to the expansion of the universe. We'll start with a slinky lab, a wet lab, and a buzzer lab to illustrate how the Doppler Effect works on waves. Then we be narrow down our focus to how the Doppler Effect works with light - specifically star light, by looking more closely at the visible spectrum of light given off by different elements.
We will have a formal quiz on the Doppler Effect and Red Shift/ Blue Shift on Thursday.
Please remember to do your weekly check-in with your student - especially this week with Student-Led Conferences coming up. I welcome all of you to come visit with me for a short time during the "Drop-in Time" during conferences. Thanks!
