Nine pages for the light half of Ontario’s Grade 4 light and sound energy topic. Students learn that light travels in straight lines, sort materials into transparent, translucent and opaque, and see how light is reflected, absorbed and refracted. They split white light into a rainbow and find out why a red apple looks red.
Canadian examples include sun dogs on cold Prairie mornings and the reflective strips that keep people safe on dark winter evenings. A hands-on investigation, teacher notes, a quiz and a full answer key are included.
