Today in class we reviewed our notes, then took a quiz on sections 1 and 2 of chapter 1 in the astronomy book.
We then did an activity called the mysterious floating penny. This activity demonstrated the property of refraction.
We also made a water lens which further showed how refraction can be used to magnify objects.
Finally we took brief notes on refracting and reflecting telescoptes. We noted how they were different and why most large telescopes are not refracting ones.
This finished chapter 1, we will start on Chapter two on Wed Feb 5.
There was no homework assigned, however students may read ahead in chapter two.
