Launch Lab: Flashlight hunt

The room is dark. Rocket holds a flashlight.

Raven hides three toys.

Nova whispers, "Shine the light to find them!"

  1. We need light to see.
  2. A light source makes its own light.
  3. The Moon does not make its own light.
  4. Light bounces off things into our eyes.
◇ FLASHLIGHT HUNT
A grown-up hides three toys in a room.
Turn the room lights off.
Shine a flashlight slowly around the room.
Find each toy with the light.
Take turns hiding and finding.
Safety first
Clear the floor first so nobody trips.
Never shine the light into eyes.
For a grown-up
Ask: what did you notice?
Ask: what would you change next time?
Ask: why could you see the toys in the light?
