This afternoon we had a fantastic time working scientifically to explore how light travels through different objects.
We learnt these three key words:
Transparent: If something is transparent (like glass) then all of the light passes through the object.
Translucent: If something is translucent (some plastic or water) then some of the light passes through it.
Opaque: If something is opaque (like wood, metal or fabric) then none of the light passes through it.
We experimented with our torches to see which objects are transparent, translucent or opaque.
