Light

Over the last few weeks, students have been experimenting with light.  Students have used flashlights and different objects in the classroom to learn more about transparent, translucent and opaque materials.  Students have also investigated how light is bent when entering a different type of material.  Check out this experiment where a penny is stuck to the bottom of the bowl.  The camera remains in the same location, but as more water is poured into the bowl, what happens to the penny?  Why?  Ask a 4th grader!  Or, try it yourself and see what you can determine!
