Skills
- plan (an investigation about light and materials) #dok3
- conduct (an experiment with objects and a beam of light) #dok2
- determine (the effect of materials on a beam of light) #dok2
- observe (what happens when light passes through or hits materials) #dok1
Learning Targets
- I can observe what happens when light shines on different materials. #dok1
- I can identify how light behaves when it hits or passes through objects. #dok1
- I can conduct an investigation to see how various materials affect a beam of light. #dok2
- I can record and organize my observations from the light experiment. #dok2
- I can explain why some materials let light through and others do not. #dok2
- I can plan a simple investigation to test the effect of different materials on a beam of light. #dok3
- I can draw conclusions from my investigation about which materials affect light and how. #dok3
Big Ideas
- Placing different materials in the path of a beam of light changes the way light travels.
- Investigating how light interacts with materials helps us understand why we see things the way we do.
Essential Questions
- What happens when a beam of light shines on different materials?
- How do materials change the way light travels?
- Why can we see through some materials but not others?
- How can we test which materials block, reflect, or let light pass through?
- What evidence helps us understand how light and materials interact?
