Science
- Aiza learned that light travels in straight lines and can be reflected or refracted.
- She discovered that different materials can either absorb or reflect light.
- Aiza also learned about shadows and how they are formed when an object blocks light.
- She explored the concept of transparency and realized that some materials allow light to pass through while others do not.
For continued development, Aiza can conduct simple experiments at home using flashlights, mirrors, and different materials to further explore the properties of light. She can also research famous scientists who made significant contributions to our understanding of light, such as Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. Additionally, Aiza can create shadow puppets or participate in a shadow play to enhance her understanding of shadows and their formation.
