Science
- Aiza learned that light travels in straight lines and can be blocked by objects.
- She discovered that dark is the absence of light and shadows are formed when light is blocked by an object.
- Aiza understood that different sources of light emit different amounts of light.
- She learned that light can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed by different materials.
Aiza can further develop her understanding of light and dark by conducting simple experiments at home. She can explore how the angle of light affects the size and shape of shadows by using a flashlight and various objects. Aiza can also investigate how different materials reflect or absorb light by using mirrors, aluminum foil, and colored papers. Encouraging her to observe and document her findings in a science journal will enhance her scientific thinking and communication skills.
