Description

Your students will have lots of fun with this science! This resource aligns with the NGSS: 1-PS4-3 standard about testing different materials to see if light passes through them. Colorful posters define the words and give examples. Directions are given for the investigation. Students will investigate materials using a flashlight and place them under the correct term (smaller cards are included to be used at each student station). There are three different worksheets. One, to show that students understand the words, and two, to record data as they investigate.

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSS1-PS4-2
Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that objects can be seen only when illuminated. Examples of observations could include those made in a completely dark room, a pinhole box, and a video of a cave explorer with a flashlight. Illumination could be from an external light source or by an object giving off its own light.
NGSS1-PS4-3
Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light. Examples of materials could include those that are transparent (such as clear plastic), translucent (such as wax paper), opaque (such as cardboard), and reflective (such as a mirror). Assessment does not include the speed of light.
