Light
The Unit of study for the next four
weeks is Light. Children have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of
natural and man-made sources of light. Activities throughout the unit have
children explore light, darkness and shadows with hands-on materials as well as
provide opportunities for children to make predictions and think about their
world in increasingly abstract ways.
Throughout this unit, there are opportunities to develop
children’s literacy skills. Children will enjoy literature, engage in
discussions are stories, and retell and act out stories they have read.
Children will be
exploring and deepening their knowledge of the following questions over four
weeks.
How and why do we use different kinds of light?
What kinds of lights are around us?
What is darkness?
How does light help us?
What are Shadows?
