LIGHTS AND SHADOWS “LIGHT IS ALL AROUND US AND WE USE IT IN MANY WAYS”

Class Tiger AssessmentOctober 24th to December 14th 2011

Page 2: Light and Shadow

Week 1: Pre Assessment Task: During carpet time, the teacher read the nonfiction book titled, “Day Light, Night Light”. After reading, the children discussed what they learned from the book. They were guided to focus on the concept, “LIGHT”.

What do Tigers know about light?

Dinosaurs have light in their eyes. No, dinosaur don’t make light.

Moon can make light. My house has lots of lights. Star makes lights. My watch makes lights. Look. Our TV has lights. When it’s dark, my mummy turns

on the lights. I have a turtle light. They flash in the night.

Week 2:What light sources do I know? Task: We reviewed the book, “Day Light, Night Light”, focusing on “things” (sources) that give off light. We learned that some sources of light are the sun, moon, flashlight, bulb, torch, etc. The children then were asked to draw pictures of things that give off light.

What “Light” can do?

and explored different activity to test how we use light:

Questions:How did you feel playing in the dark room area? I don’t want to go

inside. I want to use all the

light under this. We need batteries

for our flashlight, Ms. Jai

I like to see my hand shadow.

I like talking to Marianne there.

What happens if there is no light?Task: Tigers arrived one morning wondering, “Ms. Jai, what is happening? Why it’s so dark? The Tigers were guided to answer a questions “What if there is no light?”. They were asked to draw their experience. (November 11, 2011)

“This house has no light.

The fly will fly away.”

“This is me. The moon with no

light and the sun was covered by the cloud. The

rain falls on the ground. I get

wet.”

“The sun will go down

and it will be night time and

then we go home to sleep.”

“This is machine. The pink one is the orange juice.

The green machine is the

light”

“ You cannot see a flower. A

sun. I can’t see a butterfly because they turn off the

light.

“The fire are falling down and only the

rain is everywhere. The sun and the light and the moon and the star fall

down.”

“This house is no light then the

house light is broken”

“When it’s dark my

mummy can beat my sister because she is

not good”

Week 4: Transparency EffectTask: Tigers collected different objects from home- watches, torch, plastic rake, sticker, teddy bear etc. They used the OHP over head projector to see if they can see the light through the object. They made and came up with different hand shadows.

Week 5: ShadowsTask: One sunny afternoon, we went out and look for our shadows. We traced our shadows and squirmed to find out how shadows are formed.

Shadows are formed when opaque objects come between a light source and the 'ground'. The relative position of the sun or light source affects the direction of the shadows it forms.

Week 6: Go on a Light HuntTask: The Tigers wanted to know who uses light in the school. We went around and check who uses light in the school. We took photos of light around the school ground.

So many lights here.

They are all using lights.

Why do we need light?

We need light to see things. We have light so it is bright. We have light so we can eat. Our eyes can not see any more.

Reflections Class Tigers enjoyed this Unit of Inquiry . Tigers were proven to be communicator

and were able to express their thoughts and ideas how important is the light.

They were given enough opportunities to reflect and discover on how lights behaves in different experiments and situations.

They were all inquirers, willing to follow and showed interest in almost all activity.
