This week students looked at What is light? by completing various activities. 
They worked on a worksheet called What is Light and created a foldable that had to include the different sources of light, definitions, examples, pros/cons.
Sources of Light: Incandescent, Chemiluminescent. Fluorescent, Bioluminescent and Phosphorescent.

Students also looked at objects to determine if they were Opaque, Translucent or Transparent and had to record their observations in a table.

Any worksheets can be found by going to the top-left drop down bar and going into the Light and Optics unit page.
