A Family Newsletter

Greetings, Family!

When light interacts with different materials, it can produce many

interesting effects. In our next unit, “Light,” our science class will be

studying the properties of light. We will explore how lenses and mir-

rors focus light and produce images. Students will also learn about

light effects in nature, such as shadows, colors, and rainbows.

You can make science come alive for your child in and around your

home. Why do objects appear a certain color? How are shadows

formed? What instruments use lenses or mirrors? How do rainbows

form? Why is the sky blue? Why are sunsets red? You can also have

your child look in magazines or newspapers, and watch the news, for

stories about light and optics.

For the hands-on activities in this module, we are collecting the

items listed below. Can you donate any of these items? If so, we need

to receive your donated materials by

color 35 mm slides

sheer cloth

colorful wrapping paper

shoe boxes

with bright blues, reds,

cardboard tubes (from

greens, and yellows

bathroom tissue)

Finally, we could use your help in the classroom. Do you or other

family members have any particular interest or special experience with

this topic? Would you be able to help with the activities? If so, please

ﬁll out the form below and have your student return it to class.

Thank you very much for your help!
