- Energy: Understandings of the physical world are deepened by investigating matter and energy
- Students investigate the behaviours of light
I Can:
- Identify sources of light
- Conduct an investigation to determine how the path of light can be affected
- Examine how natural objects affect the path of sunlight
This week we had lots of fun investigating and exploring light energy. We started our exploration by coming up with ideas or facts that we thought we already knew about light...
- "Nothing is faster than the speed of light!" - HM
- "If something blocks the light it will make a shadow." - JO
- "A natural source of light is the sun." - EA
- "The most (main) source of light is the sun" - MWa
- "The moon gets it's light from the sun!" - BG
- "Light helps you see in the dark...and you can also play with light using a flashlight!" - MWe
- "You can hold your hands in different ways to block the light and make shadow puppets!" - VW

Students investigated the behaviour of light using a variety of materials at different centres.
Ask your child to tell you what they discovered!
"We had so much fun and learned lots just by playing with light!" - BG
We reviewed some terms and talked about our new discoveries.

We had a really great time at Telus Spark and lots of fun investigating light energy with our program leader Rosemarie! We experimented with the electromagnetic spectrum as well as explored the light we can see and the light that we cannot see. Students participated in various experiments where they were moving, manipulating, reflecting and refracting light.
We also really enjoyed exploring some of the other great areas at Telus Spark during our free time!
A huge thank you again to our volunteers for joining in on the fun with us!
