Investigations With Light and Shadows




Nope, the power didn't go off.  We conducted two investigations about light and shadows.  In one investigation, the students tested various materials to see how much light traveled through the material.  Then we used the same materials to see what type of shadow they made (dark or blurry).  We concluded that the materials that let the most light through created a blurry, light shadow and the objects that let almost no light through created a dark shadow.  Through this investigation, we were able to practice the steps of a science investigation and I am quite proud of the work the students collected in their science notebooks.  It was a lot to record!
