=These files are resources for the VAST PDI given on November 6, 2009 by Lori Andersen. Other resources for teaching about vision and optics can be found at my class website.= >
 * 1) This is a presentation I give to students about the Law of Reflection. You can download the PowerPoint presentation. Includes link to Java applet to demonstrate ray tracing. [[file:The Law of Reflection2.ppt]]
 * 2) Link to notetaking guide to accompany presentation
 * 1) This is a brief introduction into the vocabulary of spherical mirrors. Includes links to Java applets to demonstrate ray tracing. Concave Mirror Intro PPT [[file:Concave Mirrors.ppt]]
 * 2) This lab is a guided inquiry into the ray tracing rules and image formation properties of plane and spherical mirrors. Ray Tracing Mirror Lab [[file:Mirror_Lab.pdf]]
 * 3) Students place the optical components on these diagram sheets and trace the actual laser rays.
