Exploring the properties of light, this lesson is designed for K-2 students to understand concepts like transparency, translucency, opacity, and reflectivity. Through a hands-on investigation, students will learn how different materials interact with light using a flashlight and various objects like clear plastic, wax paper, cardboard, and a mirror. The goal is to determine how these materials affect a beam of light as it passes through or is blocked. This engaging activity aligns with the 1-PS4-3 standard, fostering critical thinking as students experiment and observe the behavior of light.
