(ST 2.2, 2.3)Īdapted from Discovering Science–Heat, Light and Sound, a Frank Schaffer Publication. Write a lab report including questions, predictions, materials and procedures, observations, and conclusions for an experiment to investigate the basic properties of light or sound.How can we use this information to create a window that allows people to see out but people on the outside cannot see in? Cross Curricular Connections Students can identify examples of opaque, translucent, and transparent materials found around their homes that are both manufactured as well as naturally occurring.Ī parallel investigation could be conducted into materials that absorb or reflect sound. absorbs or reflects ‘no’ light (and if it did, you would not be able to see it–like walking into extremely clean windows)– transparent.absorbs or reflects some light, some still passes through– translucent.With the clear plastic wrap, little if any light shines on the student’s face who is holding the wrap and the floor is lit up under the wrap as virtually all of the light shines through the clear plastic onto the floor below. With the wax paper, some light shines on the first student’s face, and some shines on the floor below the paper. With aluminum foil, all the light is reflected into the student’s face, ‘none’ is absorbed, and none passes through and shows on the floor below. The black paper absorbs virtually all of the light.įor the white paper, the second student’s face has a lot of light shining on it as most of the light is reflected, some is absorbed, but little goes through the paper to the floor below.

(Example for scoring 1–no light, 2–a little light, 3–lots of light, 4–as much light as the flashlight gives off.)įor the black paper, the judges will see little or no light shining on the second student’s face or on the floor.

Students should not be directly shining the light into any eyes.

Our translucent paper is offered in a range of weights, like 17 lb bond, 40 lb bond and 54 lb text. Remind students of expectations when in a darkened room. Choose from an array of finishes, including embossed, metallic and smooth. This is a research activity using various primary and secondary reference sources. Light and sound are forms of energy with specific properties.Published from 1917 to 1933, aAt its peak Negro World reached a circulation of 200,000 and was an important component of the Garvey Era, also known as the Harlem Renaissance.…an absorbing and reflective investigation into the properties of materials Negro World: A Newspaper Dedicated to the Interests of the Negro Raceįounded by Marcus Mosiah Garvey and Amy Ashwood Garvey, Negro World was published weekly in Harlem, New York,Īnd distributed internationally to the UNIA’s chapters in more than forty countries.
