Enduring Understanding(s):
Shadows and reflections are products of light.
Essential Question(s):
How does light affect the way things look?
Materials:
● Raccoon On His Own-Story
● Play With Me-Story
● mirrors
● flashlights
● reflective and non-reflective materials
● recording chart (Labelled Reflective/Non-Reflective)
Vocabulary:
● (non-) reflective
● shiny
● dull
● sort
● surface
Show materials and recording chart to the children. Sort materials into ‘reflective’ and ‘non-reflective’ groups.
Children can use flashlights as a source of light that they can control and move.
Encourage children to explain how they sorted, i.e., “the stainless steel spoon is reflective because it has a shiny surface,” “the construction paper is non-reflective because it has a dull surface,” etc.
Encourage children to experiment with moving the light source/object.
“In Raccoon On His Own, the baby raccoon looked into the
swamp water. What do you notice?”
“The sunlight shone on the swamp water and created a
reflection.”
