About Light 2022

Hi, I’m Shayna. Today I’m going to tell you about my first science unit investigating light.

 

First, we learned about natural and artificial light. Natural light is light that is NATURAL, literally in the name. Artificial light is light that was man-made.

Now I’m going to talk about luminous and nonluminous. When an object emits light it’s called luminous and when an object reflects light from different types of light is called nonluminous. Here is a picture of my work.

 

 

What happens if something blocking the travel path of light? (Also Transparent, Translucent, and opaque)

It depends if the object is transparent, translucent, or opaque. Wait a minute?! I haven’t told you about transparent, translucent, and opaque! Before I tell you, by the way if an object is opaque, and something blocking the travel path of light, it will form a shadow. If the object is Transparent or Translucent, the light will go through the object. Now I will tell you about transparent, translucent, and opaque. You probably don’t understand what I’m saying. Transparent is when there is an object that you can see through. For example, Glass is transparent. You look out your glass window every day. Translucent is when there is an object that you can kind of see through the object. For example, an empty bottle of wine, or a stained window. You can only see a little bit through the object. Now for opaque. Opaque is when there is an object that you completely can’t see through. for example, every day toys like stuffed animals, toy cars, etc..  Here is a GIANT picture of my transparent, translucent, and opaque window.

Reflection

Reflection is when light bounces of of a surface. Here is an example picture of a reflective object. gold floral frame on white textileThis is a mirror. This mirror is made for reflecting.

 

Refraction

Refraction is when light bends. For example, in this picture I have a cup of water, and I put a pencil in the it. The light bends when the pencil is in the water. Light travels slower in water. Look at the pencil. the pencil is bigger in the water and when the pencil is out of the water the pencil is smaller.

 

Reflection Of Learning

So far I think I am doing a great job in science!  I want to improve a lot this year. I am so exited to learn more through out the year! I think this year is going really well. I got my first science quiz, my math quiz, and my French quizzes. I think all of the subjects are going well. I would really like to learn about the human body later this year.

 

That concludes my post.

My Trip To Legoland

 

Today I’m going to tell you about my trip to Legoland. First, we went into the building and signed in. Then, we went to a room where we took a picture in front of a green screen. After that, we went into these carts. The carts could fit two people. The carts were slow. We had these fake guns and were trying to take out these lego zombies, skeletons etc. 

I went into a cart with Tehila. My auntie Bracha went with Gila and my cousin Rae went with Yedid. We didn’t defeat all the lego zombies, but we still won! I wasn’t complaining! I think that was my favourite activity. Then we FINALLY got food! I had an ice cream Oreo and Gila had some chips, yum! After we ate, we went to the jungle gym! There was a wheel that would spin like a hamster wheel, so we called it a hamster wheel! Tehila almost went upside down! Next to the jungle gym was a ride you had to peddle, peddle, peddle! Tehila and I really wanted to go on this ride. we ended up all going! There were two people per seat. Tehila and I went together! Tehila and I were the highest! After the ride, we went to the lego characters made of lego. They were on a lego couch. My auntie Bracha said, say Legoland! We said: “Legoland!” I said, auntie Bracha? Can you send it to my mom? She did. Soon, we went to this slide, and there was a plastic palm tree. Leon enjoyed playing there. In conclusion, we got lego characters and left. This was a wonderful experience.
