Science

• The child learned that light travels in a straight line.
• The child learned that light can be reflected off surfaces.
• The child learned that light can be absorbed by objects.
• The child learned that light can be refracted when passing through different mediums.

For continued development, the child can conduct experiments to explore the properties of light further. They can create a prism using a glass of water and a flashlight to observe how light refracts into different colors. They can also explore how different materials reflect or absorb light by using mirrors and objects with varying surfaces.
