Waves: Light and Sound

The first graders began a new unit this week on light and sound waves. We started by making connections between what we learned about the sun, to the energy that is made from the sun, electricity, and fire. We made observations about how light helps things become illuminated, and that sometimes that light comes from a direct source and other times it is reflected. We also discussed the scientific method and then planned and conducted an experiment where we predicted then tested what would happen when an object is placed in a beam of light. Check it out!
