1. You will need: your science journal a pencil a smile

2. Light Notes *Light is energy we can see. Interactions *White light contains all 7 colors of the rainbow. *Light can be used to complete different tasks. *Light can be reflected (bounce) off shiny surfaces. *Light can be refracted (bent) when it passes from one state of matter to another or through a curved lens.

3. Metacognition 3. When we look at a healthy plant, we see green leaves. Explain what happens to white light as it strikes the leaf and why we see the color green. 1. Look at the picture below. Draw it in your journal. Circle the mirrors that are in the correct place for the light to exit the device? Copy and complete: The light is being __________________. 2.Explain why the bottom of the boat looks larger in the water than the top of the boat. Be sure to use correct vocabulary words. 4. If students wanted to set up an investigation to compare the effects of reflection and refraction, what could they use to test them? Make a T-chart for reflection and refraction and list at least 4 things for each. 5. Explain the difference between opaque, translucent, and transparent. Give 2 examples of each.

Look at the picture below. Draw it in your journal. Which mirror is in the correct place for the light to exit the device? Copy and complete: The light is being __reflected_______. 2.Explain why the bottom of the boat looks larger in the water than the top of the boat. 4.

Make a T-chart for reflection and refraction and list at least at least 4 things for each. 5. Opaque – can’t see through it. Ie: door, book, table. Translucent – some light goes through. Ie: wax paper, block windows, shower door. Transparent – see clearly through it – tape, ziploc baggie, window. The light traveling through the air hits the water and refracts. This makes the bottom of the boat appear larger. White light strikes the leaf. Green is reflected and all the other colors are absorbed.
