Studying light

     Since we have just concluded our reading unit about the sun, we decided we wanted to do a few science lessons on light.  Today we predicted whether we would be able to see light through certain objects or not and then we tested and recorded our results.

     First we predicted.  Then we tested our predictions.

     Then we recorded our results.  We learned that scientists predict all the time and they are not always right!  That's how they learn new things.  Scientists also record their results to share with others.

     Here we are recording our results.

     We also learned a new word today - opaque.  Something that is opaque does not let light through it.  The tile, the foil, and the cardboard were all opaque.  The styrofoam was not opaque.  That one surprised a lot of us!
