Art & Science Week: Exploring Light!

Miss Holland

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?

    *What does transparent, translucent and opaque mean?
    “Transparent means something that you can see through it.
    ” Translucent means an object that you can kind of see through it and let a little bit of light through.
    “Opaque means an object that you can not see through it.

    *How are shadows created?
    Shadows are created when there is light and an object blocking the light it creates shadows.

    *Which materials allow light to pass through?
    Glass
    Water
    Clear plastic

    Transparent means you can see through it
    clearly and light can pass through.
    Translucent means you can see through a little bit and it lets a little bit of light pass through. Opaque means you can not see through the object and it lets no travel through. Shadow are created with light but can only be created by opaque objects.

  5. Jari V.

    Transparent means that you can completely see through it. Translucent means that you can not completely see through it. Opaque means that you can not see through it at all.
    Shadows are created when you are blocking light from passing through.
    The materials that light can pass through are glass, plastic, water, air and some fabrics.

  6. Sidrah S.

    Transparent means a see through block of material that allows light to pass through it. Translucent means some of light can pass through the object.
    Opaque means solid material that allows no light to pass through it and makes a bold shadow.
    Shadow is made by a block of material that’s stops light to pass through it.
    Water and glass

    1. Transparent objects allow all of the light to pass though them, so we can clearly see through.

    2.Translucent objects only allow some light to pass through them, so that we can see through a little bit.

    3.Opaque objects do not allow any light to pass through them, so we cannot see through them at all.

    Shadows happen when no light passes through an object. Like the sun behind a tree.

    Materials like glass allow light through.

  8. Yasmin A.

    Shadow is created when an object is blocking the light.
    Glass allows light to pass through.

    Transparent means you can see through it
    clearly and light can pass through.
    Translucent means you can see through a little bit and it lets a little bit of light pass through. Opaque means you can not see through the object and it lets no travel through. Shadow are created with light but can only be created by opaque objects.

    Transparent means you can see through it.
    Translucent means you can see through it a little bit.

    1. Transparent means light can pass through objects easily so you can see through it easily.
    Translucent objects can let some light through so you can’t see clearly.
    Opaque means light can’t pass through so you can’t see through.

    2. Shadows are created by opaque objects because light can’t pass through easily.

    3. Glass, water bottle that’s new, clear plastic, plastic bag Wich is clean and a clean jar. Opaque objects a table, dice, chair, ipad, table tray, book, cumputer, ball, a wall, teddy, a door with no glass or plastic and TV. By Aadam and Hadiya.

    Transparent means that you can see through it and light can pass through it.
    Translucent means that you can see through it online a little bit and light can pass through it a little.
    Opaque means that you can’t see through it.

    Shadows are made by humans and animals it’s because we block the sun.

    1.Transparent means lots of light can come though it
    Translucent lets some light come though and people can’t see you very well
    Opaque means you can’t see though it like a wall

    2.Shadows are created by objects that are opaque and light cannot pass though like a table
    3.A window allows light because it is transparent :by Camarni and rayan

  16. Safwan A.

    Transparent means light can go through the object. Translucent let’s some light travel through and we can.

    T transparent means you can see through it completely shadow
    Translucent means you can see light goes through it to make shado
    Opqupa means you can’t see through it complete

    Science
    Transparent means that lots of light comes through the object so that you can see through it.Translucent lets some light pass through but you can not see that much.Opaque means that you can’t see through it.

    2. Shadows are formed when light can’t pass through the object or person.

    3. A clear window

    Hamida and Rex

  22. Jegor S.

    Science
    Transparent means that light can travel through
    the object

  23. Ibrahim I.

    Transparent means that you can see through the object clearly.
    Translucent means not clearly see through the object.
    Opaque means you can’t even see through the object.

    Shadows are formed by opaque objects

  24. Adrian O.

    Science

    Transparent means see through,Translucent means a little see through and opaque means not see through.
    Shadows are made because an opaque object blocks the light.
    Adrian,Maya.

  25. Ranj M.

    Transparent means you can clearly see it because light can travel through the object
    Translucent means you can see through it but not clearly .
    Opaque mean it doesn’t let through it so you can’t see through it at all.

  26. Sandra A.

    (1) transparent means you can see the light through the objecd . Mirror.
    (2) Translucent means you can see through the light A little bit.
    (3) opaque means you can’t see the light through the object like tables

  27. Faris B.

    Transparent means you can see threw it.Translucent means you can only see little light,and opaque you can’t see any light.
    Shadow appears when the object is blocking the light my shadow appears
