 Puzzling Polarizers
polarized light and polarizing filters; one example is the liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) on digital watches and calculators. When we apply the scientific method to real-world problems, often we can invent applications for the effects we observe even without understanding the or...

polarized light and polarizing filters; one example is the liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) on digital watches and calculators. When we apply the scientific method to real-world problems, often we can invent applications for the effects we observe even without understanding the origins of those effects. This process is commonly used in the development of new technologies; one example is the discovery of x rays. This curriculum unit is designed to encourage this investigative process through inquiry-based learning

Macaulay, is a helpful resource for this activity. The <span class="highlight">light</span> generated by some sources, including the Advanced <span class="highlight">Light</span> <span class="highlight">Source</span> (ALS), is polarized. <span class="highlight">Based</span> <span class="highlight">on</span> what you know about wiggling electrons and how they generate <span class="highlight">light</span>, why do you think <span class="highlight">light</span> from the ALS comes out polarized? Why would this be useful to the scientists doing experiments there? Find out about some scientific experiments best performed using polarized <span class="highlight">light</span>.

Penguin Reading Guide: The Tale of Genji
the book picks up the story some eight years later. It now centers on a young man, Kaoru, whom the world accepts as Genji's son, although in reality he is not. Kaoru has nothing like Genji's stature. The mood of this last third of the tale is dark with intimations of betrayal...
Penguin Reading Guide: The Gunslinger: The Dark Tower I
readers with its willful ambiguity. To read this first volume is to get the sense that we are glimpsing only the smallest fraction of a much larger story. And this is very much the case. The Gunslinger is the tip of the proverbial iceberg. King illuminates a post-apocalyptic landscape through a de...
