Lesson Plan - Jan.30th

The lesson plan introduces children to light properties through a series of activities. In the first activity, students observe how light passes through, is partially transmitted by, or is blocked by different materials. They also learn about reflection using aluminum paper and a mirror. The second activity demonstrates how light travels in a straight line through air but bends when passing into water, known as refraction. Younger students write their names on transparent paper and look at the writing in a mirror to learn about symmetry and how letters appear different or the same. The lesson concludes with a review of the key concepts taught.

Lesson Plan January 30th, 2015

Topic: Light properties


Introduction:
I'll remind children what they learned in the previous lesson about light and dark and
about reflection. Then I'll ask them what else do they know about light properties? Does
light pass through some objects? Does it bounce back with other objects? Why?
N2
Activity 1:
With different papers and plastic papers, I show children how light can fully pass through
transparent objects, just partially through translucent objects and not at all through opaque
objects.
Some other object instead reflect light. With an aluminum paper and a mirror I show how
light can be reflected.
Then I'll point at some objects around us and ask children which category these objects
belong to.
Activity 2:
Using flashlight and/or laser I show children how light spreads in different ways in the air
and into water. While in the air it moves straight, in the water it can bend its path. Similar
phenomenon happen when we put a stick into water and we notice that the stick is bent.
This phenomenon is called refraction.
Conclusion: review what we learned.
K1 & K2:
Activity 1:
I'll give children some transparent papers and I'll ask them to write their name. Then I turn
over the papers and, with the help of a mirror, I'll ask children to read what they wrote.
I'll ask questions such as why do the alphabets look different when seen in the mirror, but
why do we look alike when seen in the mirror. And why some letters like M, W and O look
same. This is called symmetry.
Activity 2:
With different papers and plastic papers, I show children how light can fully pass through
transparent objects, just partially through translucent objects and not at all through opaque
objects.
Some other object instead reflect light. With an aluminum paper and a mirror I show how
light can be reflected.
Then I'll point at some objects around us and ask children which category these objects
belong to.
