Lesson 1: Light Introduction by Mr. Pichurski :)
Light & Shadows Puppet Show
Learning Outcome:
4.6- 6. Recognize that opaque materials cast shadows, and predict changes in the size and location of shadows resulting from the movement of a light source or from the movement of a shade-casting object.

Lesson #4: The Future is so Bright, I've got to wear sunglasses.
4.9.1: Recognize that eyes can be damaged by bright lights and that one should not look at the Sun—either directly or with binoculars or telescopes.
CT?: Why is it dangerous to look directly at the sun?
Lesson #5: Bent Out of Shape - Light Refraction
4.9.10: Recognize that light can be bent (refracted) and that such objects as aquaria, prisms and lenses can be used to show that light beams can be bent.
CT?: When does light bend?
Refraction: When light is bent as it moves through one kind of matter to another. (matter: anything that has mass and takes up space. In other words - everything that is around you)
Reflection: to give back or show an image of an object (mirror). Light reflects or "bounces" off the surface of an object.

Activity: Reflection/Refraction interactive notebook
Lesson #6: I have seen the light - but where does it come from?
4.9.2: Identify a wide range of sources of light, including the Sun, various forms of electric lights, flames, and materials that glow (luminescent materials).
4.9.3: Distinguish objects that emit their own light from those that require an external source of light in order to be seen.
CT?: What besides the sun provides us light?
Student Activity: - research sources of light
- mini-lesson: how to decide whether a website is reputable or not.
