Light Test

Posted on

Your child came home with a review sheet today for our test on Tuesday. If your child misplaced it, I have added the information below:

  • When light is reflected the light hits the object and it bounces off.
  • To make a shadow you need: a light source, an object, and a blocked path.
  • The shadow is shortest at noon.
  • Light travels in straight lines and some waves.
  • When light travels from air to water it slows down and looks like it bends (think about pencil experiment).
  • When a light source is blocked a shadow forms.
  • Man-made light: light bulb, lantern, lamp, flashlight
  • Natural light: sun, stars, firefly
  • Opaque: No light passes through (examples: rock, people, wood)
  • Translucent: Some light passes through (examples: tissue paper, waxed paper)
  • Transparent: Light passes through (examples: glass, overhead, glasses)
  • When light passes through a prism, it separates into colors.
  • Think about the best color shirt to wear on a hot day and why.

Light Unit

Posted on

Our first science unit focuses on light. This unit will last just over a week. Today your child was given flashcards to take home to study that include specific vocabulary words that we used already during the unit. They will see these words on the assessment.

If your child wants to complete matching activities or quizzes on these words, Please visit this link: Light Notecards.
