This unit on light aims to teach students about how light travels and interacts with different materials. The teacher's role is to facilitate hands-on learning through projects and experiments while encouraging critical thinking. Parents are asked to support their children's learning and homework. Students will experiment and apply their learning to real-life situations. The unit prepares students for higher science courses and allows project-based learning, meeting state standards on light and the earth-moon system. Objectives are for students to identify transparent, translucent, and opaque materials and predict how light reflects off objects.
