Art & Science Week: Exploring Light!

Today we started our investigation by learning about how light interacts with the world around us. In groups we carried out experiments exploring which materials casted shadows. Afterwards we applied our scientific knowledge to design and create our own shadow puppets. In the afternoon we used our creativity and imagination to create our own shadow show expressing the value of kindness.

Please answer the questions below in full sentences sharing what you have learnt today.

  1. What does transparent, translucent and opaque mean?
  2. How are shadows created?
  3. Which materials allow light to pass through?
