About This Lesson
This episode requires students to develop their idea of electromagnetic radiation. Since they cannot see either the wave nature of light or the molecular structure of Polaroid, they will have to take some of this on trust. You can establish the basic ideas using analogies. The approach is non-mathematical.
Very detailed set of teaching notes to help teach polarisation. Lots of experiments described, explained and set in context. Highly recommended to read before teaching this topic.
