How can the amount or intensity of light affect matter? How are color and light energy related?
Make a model or invent an experiment using a light source and other objects to explain the effect of light on them. Day 3: Explore reflection and refraction of light through different materials. Establish an analogy between the information gathered through the exercise and the use of remote sensing images. • Recall how the light affected the different paper materials exposed to the sun’s energy. Introduce the properties of reflection and refraction by guiding students to shine beams of light on and through different materials. • Give students squares of different cut out materials (listed under materials section, except the glass jars and water containers.) • Allow exploration to see how light would bounce or go through the different materials. • Facilitate and motivate students into exploring how they could record and account for the differences between the materials and the way light passes through them or not. Make a graph of materials that allow light through, materials that don’t,
