Fighting Light

Hi, this was our first AP for the winter term. In this unit we learned about light and how to capture light. We became familiar with the different properties of light and how it is a particle in some experiments and a wave in other experiments. We got to take and develop our own pictures in a dark room and learned how to use reflection and refraction. Overall this was a great unit.
