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?
