G2 Inquiry into light & Puppet show

Our second Unit of Inquiry, How the World Works, had a strong science focus. The Central Idea was “Light comes from different sources and has different properties helps us to understand that it is an essential resource”. The children did multiple hands-on experiments and activities involving shadows, reflection and refraction. We explored the history of light through a study of Thomas Edison and how light has been used throughout history. We went on a field trip to the science museum and puppet museum where the children learned to make shadow puppets. For the summative assessment the children wrote and performed play-scripts using their knowledge of light and shadows.

在探究“世界是如何運作的”的第二單元中，有一個焦點，它的中心概念為：來自不同出處的光源幫助我們了解到----光是不可或缺的資源。

二年級的學生親身實驗了許多關於影子、反射與折射的活動。透過研究愛迪生的故事，學生也一同探索了光的歷史，以及從古至今，光是如何運用於生活中。此外，我們也一同參觀了自然科學博物館與偶戲館。學生在這趟校外教學裡，學到了怎麼呈現皮影。

總結性作業中，學生運用習得的光影知識，創作了皮影戲的劇本並將它搬上舞台。

學生們測試哪種材質的反射力最好！
