2 What s in the Light Energy Unit? Light Energy is 40 sessions in length. There are four investigations each with 10 sessions. The unit focuses on s characteristics and interactions with s, as a form of energy, and energy transformations. There s a strong emphasis on science inquiry,,, and. Nine books engage students in reading and support firsthand inquiry, writing, and discussion. Students gain facility with reading comprehension strategies such as and, and with al text features. They focus on writing s based on. Investigation 1 Characteristics of Light. Students reflect on what they know and wonder about, and read Can You See in the Dark? Using flashs, foil, and other s, they make observations. They begin a class glossary and concept wall, then make tubes to gather that s in a straight line. Students practice short passages, then read The Speed of Light, making and revising predictions, and reading tables. They explore and color with tubes, make a concept map, and write paragraphs on what they have learned. Investigation 2 Transmitting and Reflecting Light. Students read Why Do Scientists Disagree? They investigate ways that interacts with s, predicting and revising predictions. Questions frame investigations, asking which s transmit, block, and reflect. In I See What You Mean, students read about how and reflection are involved in sight, and practice. They make s and write a scientific that includes to support the that nonshiny things reflect. Investigation 3 Absorbing and Refracting Light. Students make predictions about the amounts of different s absorb, then analyze from Handbook of Light Interactions. They confront conflicting and use from the Handbook during discourse circles about the Materials that are the same color absorb similar amounts of. They read Light Strikes!, which discusses interactions in everyday contexts, and practice. They learn about lenses and refraction. Students read Cameras, Eyes, and Glasses. They gather and organize, then write a scientific about the four interactions they ve studied. Investigation 4 Light as Energy. Students investigate temperature changes in white and black boxes sitting under a bright lamp. They analyze Handbook to figure out that darker-colored s absorb more than er-colored ones. The guiding question What is energy? introduces the first half of It s All Energy. The students write a summary, then read the rest of the book on energy transformation. Students visit Energy Transformation Stations and are introduced to the important role of solar energy. They write scientific s about the ways solar energy transforms, then read Sun and Showers, about scientists who use solar energy to solve a problem. They take part in a discourse circle about solar energy, visit reminder stations about the unit s investigations, and reflect on how they ve been like scientists. UNIT OVERVIEW
3 What Students Do Investigation 1 Characteristics of Light Students reflect on what they know and wonder about, and these ideas on a class chart. They make predictions before reading Can You See in the Dark? Students begin their investigations using flashs and s such as foil and clear plastic, and their observations with s. They make tubes to gather that s in a straight line. Using key words from paragraphs they read, students practice and construct main idea statements. They engage in and read The Speed of Light, paying particular attention to the tables in the book. Groups gather that supports key concepts about how s, and then are introduced to the relationship between and color. They make observations of colored s with their tubes, and read and summarize a passage about one of Isaac Newton s investigations. The class constructs a concept map, and then students write paragraphs about the characteristics of. Investigation 2 Transmitting and Reflecting Light Students make predictions before reading Why Do Scientists Disagree? then make a class chart about what scientists do. Throughout this investigation, students investigate different ways that interacts with s, their after each round of investigation as a class, and discussing their disagreements. The first interaction they investigate is transmission, about which they write s after they ve resolved disagreements. Students then investigate which s block, summarize their, and read two passages about shadows. They find key words in the passages, and use these to construct main idea statements. They gather about which s reflect, and read the book I See What You Mean. They make s that illustrate how is involved with vision. Students investigate reflection and mirrors, and write s to support the that non-shiny things reflect. Seeds of science/roots of reading
4 What Students Learn Investigation 1 Characteristics of Light Students learn that people need to see. They also learn what a prediction is, and that is a useful reading strategy. Students learn about the characteristics of it comes from a, s in straight lines, is the fastest thing in the Universe, and interacts with s in different ways. Students learn that is used to support ideas in science and can come from firsthand investigations or books. They learn that scientists carefully observations and use tools to investigate. They learn about glossaries and tables as features of nonfiction text, and also learn how to select key words to identify the main idea of a text. Students learn that white is made up of colors, and that colored can combine to make white. Students also learn that a nonfiction paragraph is composed of a main idea and supporting details. Investigation 2 Transmitting and Reflecting Light Students learn that scientists are part of the scientific community, and that they work together, sharing ideas,, and s. They learn that disagreement often moves science forward, and that scientists revise s when they find new that doesn t agree. Students also learn that when an observation is written down, it becomes, and that reorganizing can be helpful when trying to answer a question. They learn about what happens when shines on things that it can be transmitted or blocked and that some s transmit. They learn that when writing an, scientists support a with multiple pieces of from different s. They learn about the for these particular interactions, such as the fact that a shadow is of blocked. Since all s have shadows, all s block. Their understanding is then deepened as they learn that when is blocked, some of it is reflected. They also learn that when we see something it is because has reflected off it and entered our eyes. UNIT OVERVIEW
5 About the Student Books Following are short descriptions of the nine full-color Light Energy student science books. Can You See in the Dark? invites students to wonder about whether or not people need to see. The book details a search for a completely dark place, following the narrator from a movie theater to a dark campsite to a closet and finally into a cave where there truly is no at all. This book introduces the idea that all comes from a. It enables students to identify many different s of in the text and illustrations. Can You See in the Dark? provides an introduction to the Light Energy unit and poses a question that students will return to many times as they learn more about how people see. The Speed of Light informs students that is the fastest thing in the Universe. The book compares the speed of to other fast things such as a jet, a spaceship, and sound. Data comparing the speed of to other fast things is presented through descriptive examples and in tables. By reflecting on the, the students are better able to understand how fast s a characteristic that is impossible for them to observe firsthand. Why Do Scientists Disagree? is a book with two distinct but related threads. On the right-hand pages, students read about the ways scientists use, make s, and debate their s to move the field of science forward. On the left-hand pages, these ideas are exemplified in the story of the scientist Galileo and how his observations of the Moon changed people s ideas about. This book models important aspects of the nature of science for students and helps support subsequent investigations in which students may disagree about s and s. I See What You Mean explains the relationship between reflection and vision. It is an extended dialogue between two girls who are trying to figure out how is involved when they see a peach. As they question each other and add more to their description of how people see, they explain more of the process involved in sight. Over the course of the book, students learn that comes from a, bounces off objects, even non-shiny ones, and s to our eyes. Detailed illustrations and s support the text and show the path of in each scenario. This book supports firsthand investigations with critical that is not easily observed and directly addresses the misconception that only shiny s reflect. Seeds of science/roots of reading
6 Handbook of Light Interactions presents for a wide range of s and their interactions with. This book is organized by type of with the presented in tables. Students learn how much various s absorb, reflect, and transmit. By comparing their observations with the in the book, they are able to draw more accurate conclusions about how interacts with s. This book supports students firsthand investigations by providing the additional they need to answer important about interactions. It also provides secondhand for them to analyze and interpret. Light Strikes! shows interactions in real-life situations. Students are invited to look at ordinary scenes and observe how is interacting with s, sometimes in unexpected ways. The book reinforces concepts about the interactions (transmission, reflection, and absorption) that students have been investigating. It also helps them make connections between the science they are learning and the world around them. Cameras, Eyes, and Glasses is about three important things that use lenses to refract. The book explains what lenses are and what they do, then describes the lenses in cameras, eyes, and eyeglasses. Photographs and s help students understand how the lenses work. The book also includes suggestions for simple activities readers can do to observe refraction in action. It reinforces and extends students firsthand investigations by providing examples of refraction in use in the world. It s All Energy is about energy and its various forms. Students learn about electrical, motion, sound, thermal,, and chemical energy by reading about situations and processes they experience in their everyday lives that include these forms of energy. They also learn that energy can be transformed from one form into another and that these transformations can serve many useful purposes. It s All Energy helps students learn important foundational concepts and understand their firsthand investigations with energy. Sun and Showers introduces readers to Dr. Ashok Gadgil, a scientist who uses his scientific to address real-world problems. Dr. Gadgil s students work together as a team to design a solar water heater for use in Guatemala. The book describes various ways the young scientists solve the design problem working as a team, investigating the issues and gathering, and designing and testing a solution. The book demonstrates that solar energy is useful as an alternative of energy and models the nature of science by providing a compelling example of scientists solving real problems for real people.
