Students classify objects according to how well light can pass through them and predict how well objects will transmit light. They experiment with objects to verify predictions while collecting, recording, and interpreting data from observations. They then infer that the amount of light that can pass through a material determines how well we can see through the material. Full Review »

Students investigate the mixing of light. They form a hypotheses to reason why color changes occur and they write conclusions and ask new questions arising from the investigation. Students identify the primary and complementary colors of light. They place the colors in the correct position on the Color Addition Chart. Full Review »

Students think about whether light is matter or energy before they participate in demonstrations and experiments to determine how spheres, light, and waves travel. They study that the current theory is that light is comprised of photons which sometimes behave like waves and sometimes like particles. They review the meaning of transparent, opaque, and translucent while singing a song.. Full Review »

Students test the effects of air resistance on gravity by building parachutes for chicken eggs which they drop from ten feet. They design three different parachutes each having different surface areas and predict which one may prevent the egg from cracking. A video clip on forces and motion help them relate physics terms to the experiment. Full Review »
