This is the student-facing slide presentation that introduces the phenomenon, walks the class through observations and driving questions, and frames the evidence students will use for the Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson in the Physics II (grades 9–12) chapter Quantum & Atomic Physics, built around the phenomenon Two Metals, One Slope: The Light Bench. This scaffolded version adds sentence frames and extra supports for students who need them. It is sold separately from the other two parts of the set.
Complete the set: Quantum & Atomic Physics Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson: Two Metals, One Slope: The Light Bench Teacher Discussion Guide; Quantum & Atomic Physics Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson: Two Metals, One Slope: The Light Bench Student Response Sheet. Original version: Quantum & Atomic Physics Phenomena-Based Lesson: Two Metals, One Slope: The Photoelectric Bench Presentation.
