*what emits light*what can we see in the dark
*beams of light travel in straight lines
*how shadows change from the sun during the day (we created ipad presentations on this)
and
*how to make shadows bigger.
The students are enjoying using flashlights to manipulate shadows, and had wonderful 'ah-ha' moments while recreating the pattern of daytime shadows using a flashlight and a q-tip person. Some students need a bit more time, but their videos are awesome!
We will be continuing on to being able to identify transparent, translucent and opaque materials next week, and analyzing what makes objects good or poor reflectors.
