Books | Causes of Color font size: a a a A page from the "Causes of Color" exhibit... Interesting books to learn more We are often asked about books we might recommend. This exhibit is based on hundreds of different sources, both online and in print. Below are several we like: How to Use Your Eyes by James Elkins Invites us to look at – and maybe to see for first time – the world around us, with breathtaking results. Note, only a little of this book is about colors. Other chapters include things that everyone sees, but no one notices: cracks in pavement, culverts under highways, grass, sand. We appreciated sunsets much more after reading this book. (Published October 2000, Routledge; ISBN: 0415922542. 272 pages.) See more info at Amazon.com Color in Nature: A Visual and Scientific Exploration by Penelope A. Farrant A beautiful and interesting book with 300 color photos and illustrations. The book focuses on a dozen different topics, such as "the universe" and "animal pigments." Answers why snow is white, a leaf green, ocean water blue, and a zebra striped? Not too technical.

Toolbox | Causes of Color font size: a a a Related pages: Teaching Toolbox Activity list A page from the "Causes of Color" exhibit... Understanding the colors in our world Color is a great way to connect students with science. The perception of color is the interplay of the biological (sensing wavelengths of light via nerve cells) and the physical (the physical processes that cause different wavelengths of light). This exhibit covers all aspects of colored light - from rainbows to light bulbs. Various topics, like aurora, blue sapphires, butterfly wings, and melanin are all explained in detail with an eye to the biology and chemistry behind these phenomena. Overview of the exhibit Causes of Color is structured as an informative reading experience and an ideal teaching tool. There are four major sections: Colors are “made” by new photons of light being created. Topics include: incandescence, fluorescence, fire, lightning, fireworks, vapor lamps, chemiluminescence, bioluminescence, mechanoluminescence, auroras, and Cerenkov radiation. Glowing gases, burning fuels, mixing chemicals, and moving ... http://www.webexhibits.org/causesofcolor/teaching-toolbox.html · 15.0k |

Cerenkov | Causes of Color font size: a a a Related pages: Chemiluminescence Bioluminescence Cerenkov Do it Yourself A page from the "Causes of Color" exhibit... Color effects near the speed of light You’ve probably never seen the inside of a nuclear reactor, but the shock wave of blue light (called Cerenkov radiation) is analogous to a more familiar phenomenon – the sonic boom. What is Cerenkov radiation? Example of Cerenkov radiation (Reed reactor). Cerenkov radiation is a bluish light or flash frequently seen in nuclear reactors where water is used as a moderator. Pavel Cerenkov discovered Cerenkov radiation in 1934, while he was studying the effects of radioactive substances on liquids. He noticed that water surrounding certain radioactive substances emitted a faint blue glow. Why does it happen? Cerenkov radiation occurs when charged particles like electrons are moving faster than the speed of light in a particular medium. A shock wave is generated in much the same way as the more familiar sonic boom created by supersonic airplanes. When an airplane travels through the air, the wings ... http://www.webexhibits.org/causesofcolor/4BA.html · 12.1k |
Lesson | Causes of Color font size: a a a Related pages: Intro Background Lesson Assessment A page from the "Causes of Color" exhibit... Lesson 2 (Gemstones) Ideally, this lesson on gemstones should coincide with or supplement your lessons on igneous rocks, or a lesson on rocks and minerals and their differences. Immerse your students in the world of color, and have them organize and communicate what they learn using SpicyNodes concept maps. What’s SpicyNodes? It’s a concept mapping and a presentation tool. It’s available as a free online tool, or your school can purchase an Enterprise subscription for the extra convenience of keeping track of your students’ work. Over the course of this one-week lesson, you will guide your students through ideas about the causes of color and the color of gemstones. Let them research using this exhibit, perform hands-on activities, and create nodemaps that are intended for other students to use, and record some of their results to their notebooks or your usual classroom mechanism. The following is a suggested lesson overview and notes. Please freely expand or ... http://www.webexhibits.org/causesofcolor/lesson-2-lesson.html · 18.9k |
