| Title | Diffracton PhET Lab for AP physics B |
| Description | Two-page (low paper use) lab with ten-point formal assessment at its conclusion. The lab should take no more than 50 minutes, including calculations and questions. This lab is challenging for the students to perform but reasonably easy to grade. If absent, this lab can be done at home with moderate instructor input or notes. This lab is performed midway through a unit on optics in a physics II AP B class at an urban high school in Las Vegas, Nevada. |

Did anyone else have trouble finding the compass or protractor? And the white light?
