Explanation of the project: The lights way reflected

The students will bring to class a compass, cardboard, 5
tacks, a small mirror and a ruler to do a project that seeks to
know the velocity of light.

 Objective 2:
Differentiating the general
characteristics of light and how it is
presented in our daily lives.
Learning objective 2:
Recognizing how light travels and
how it can be absorbed, reflected
and refracted.

 We will investigate the following:

1. What is light?
2.What are some sources of light around us?
3. What are opaque, transparent, &
translucent objects?
4. What is a light wave?
5.Are there any hands-on/minds-on activities I
can do to learn more?

Light
Our primary source of light is the sun.
*Light waves travel faster than sound
waves!
Light energy from the sun travels through
space , reaches earth, and some of it turns
to heat energy and warms the earths air.
Light from the sun also travels to the cells
of green plants (producers) and is stored
as energy.
When light reaches an object, it is
absorbed, reflected, or passes through it.

How many sources of Light

can you list and explain?
SUN=warms air,
water, and land.
Fire=provides heat,
light, and cooking fuel.
Lightning=
Firefly=
Flashlight=
Light bulb=
Laser beams=
Optical
telephone
fibers=
*Traffic lights=

*AIMS: Primarily Physics:

Light Sources Activity

Just Passing Through:

What happens when light strikes
glass? Or waxed paper? Or a book?
If light travels through
an object it is
=transparent
If light is blocked by an
object and a dark
shadow is cast it is=
opaque.
If some light passes
through but not all and
a light shadow is
present it
is=translucent.

What happens when light

hits these objects?
Glass of water
School bus
window
Notebook paper
Waxed paper
Plastic wrap
Tissue paper
Cardboard
Textbook
Hand lens

Transparent objects:
The windows on a school
bus,
A clear empty glass,
A clear window pane,
The lenses of some
eyeglasses,
Clear plastic wrap,
The glass on a clock,
ALL of these are transparent.
Yes, we can see through
them because light passes
through each of them.

Translucent objects

Thin tissue paper,

Tinted car windows,
Frosted glass,
Clouds,
All of these
materials are
translucent and
allow some light to
pass but the light
cannot be clearly
seen through.

Opaque objects:
Heavy weight paper,
Cardboard
Aluminum foil,
Mirror, bricks, buildings
All of these objects are
opaque because light
cannot pass through
them at all.
They cast a dark
shadow.
