Light and Sight

After our visit from Julie and our sharing of the Home Learning projects on the senses, we had some questions about how sight works.

We talked about when it is easier to see and when it isn't. We realised that without light we can not see. Mrs Walker told us about restaurants that you can eat in, in the pitch black. We decided that when we fill our marble jar that was the experience we all want to have. So when it is full, Room 6 will become a 'Black-Out Restaurant'.

Our first questions is..."Are some colours easier to see than others in low-light?"

We used the last few cake boxes to paste different coloured paper and objects, different textured papers and some sparkly and fluro items.

We cut a peep-hole to view the objects through.

While our groups worked on this, Mrs Walker helped small groups use the optic and light set to, create and test theories about how light worked. We came up with some great theories and tested them. One group made a light circuit using prisms to bend light around in a circuit.
