COLOR

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

 

Roses are red…violets are blue…color is exciting…and so are you! How do we see the various colors in our environment? The colors we observe in a rainbow after a summer shower, in a color television, in the Sunday comics, in the paints used by an artist, and even the analysis of the composition of a distant planet are all based upon our understanding of the concepts of color and the way in which colors combine. The way in which the physiology of our eye interprets color will be explained using color addition and color subtraction. This topic will truly brighten your day.
As you work on this topic please remember to describe what you see as one of the following colors: red, blue green, yellow, cyan, or magenta. Also, please use white to indicate the presence of all colors and black for the absence of color. It is extremely important that you first strive to understand the principles of color addition and color subtraction and then make the predictions requested in each part of the laboratory. Only after you have made your predictions actually do the laboratory. Take your time and have fun - this is really super stuff !

Topic Objective
Demonstrate understanding of the Color topic by mastering the topic objectives, conducting an experiment, applying learning outcomes to related research, stating the relevancy of at least two topic concepts in a written topic report.

Assignment
1.  Read the topic in your textbook.   
2.  Write the Procedure Section of the topic report. The procedure section of the topic report is a summary of what is going to be done for this report. There should be one paragraph for each “part” of the investigation (laboratory). Each paragraph should discuss what is to be done and how it is to be done. 

2a.

 Students tell me that the simulations are very helpful and that you should visit them before you begin the laboratory. Especially for the identification of the spectra in part A. (Use the Emission setting)

(Produces a spectrum of any element)
3.  The Data section of your report.  The Data Section contains the data obtained from the laboratory investigations. The data is presented using the electronic data sheets obtained from the web site. Post any questions you have to the Discussion Board. 
4.  Write the Outcomes section of the topic report. The Outcomes section of the topic report presents the specific outcomes for each part of the laboratory activities with respect to the research questions. There should be one paragraph for each “part” of the investigation (laboratory).  
5.  Write the Application section of the topic report. The application section of each seminar identifies an activity or activities that involved the web.

Each application includes: 1)A picture that identifies the web site. The picture must include URL and Part of Page as ONE Picture. 2) A description the contents of the web site or activity. 3) An indication on how the web site applies to the topic. 
         
    Visit two of the applications listed below.
             
             
     Color Addition

6. The Relevancy section of your topic report: 
     a. Identifies and lists a minimum of two concepts presented in this topic. 
     b. Discusses and relates each concept to your life.
7. Write the "Summary" section of your report. The Summary section summarizes the work of the topic. This should include a broad statement of outcome of the the topic, thoughts, based upon the work of this topic including feelings about the content of the topic and how the topic relates to your life.  Also, post this section of your report to the Discussion Board.
