Transparent, Translucent & Opaque
Science · Waves, Light & Sound · procedural
Investigate the effect of placing objects made of different materials in the path of a beam of light, discovering transparent, translucent, and opaque materials
What mastery looks like
- Test at least six materials and classify them as transparent, translucent, or opaque
- Define transparent (light passes through clearly), translucent (some light passes, blurry), opaque (no light passes)
- Predict whether a given material will let light through based on its appearance
Check your understanding
Can Transparent, Translucent & Opaque test different materials with a torch and sort them into ones light goes through, ones that block light, and ones in between?
