What has she done this time? thought Harry as he and Tommy hurried toward the rainbow of color streaming from Miss Brown's classroom onto the school hallway's tiled floor.
Curious students from other classes were taking turns peering into Harry's classroom to see what was making all the bright colors.
There, set on Miss Brown's desk, was a bright light, surrounded by triangle shaped pieces of clear glass. A flood of color was coming from each triangle, painting the floor, ceiling, and walls. A large poster in the front of the class read:
Tommy sat in his assigned chair and read the words written on the front board:
Miss Brown handed each student a paper and then asked,
"Matthew, will you be today's reader?"
Matthew eagerly agreed and began to read the paper entitled Light Basics. Miss Brown helped with a few difficult words. (Link to Light Basics)
He's a good reader, thought Tommy.
Electromagnetic radiation, thought Harry. And raised his hand.
"Harry, do you have a question?" Miss Brown asked.
"Isn't radiation dangerous?" asked Harry.
"That's a very good question. Light is called "electromagnetic radiation," but this kind of radiation is not generally harmful. However, what happens if you stay out in the sun too long?"
"You get sunburned," answered Harry.
"Correct," said Miss Brown. "There are other kinds of electromagnetic radiation, too, such as radio waves, microwaves, and x-rays, but light is the part we can see, the part that makes the color of a rainbow."
Miss Brown divided the class into five groups and then said, "Your assignment is to learn all you can about light and next week make a group presentation about what you have learned. You may begin your planning."
