Reflective Light

Students in 1st grade are finishing up their Light and Shadow STEM Special and exploring moon phases and how sunlight reflects off the moon’s surface. They learned that when we see the moon we are actually seeing a portion of the moon that is experiencing daytime. The students challenged themselves to light dinosaurs using mirrors and flashlights to show how light reflects.
