Exploring Transparent and Opaque

Today several of our classmates were away, but that didn't stop us from doing some serious learning!

In Science we have been enjoying our Creating Colour activities, and today we examined transparent and opaque. Transparent means something is see through. Opaque means is it not see through. The children observed several different samples today and decided if the sample was transparent or opaque. Some were pretty challenging!

For those who were away, here are the samples we observed. Please take some time to flip through and decide if each sample is transparent or opaque:



You may have noticed there was no #5 ... it was going to be chocolate sauce, until Mrs. Beliveau, for some unknown reason, didn't have any left in her pantry!

We had a wonderful afternoon and learned so much together!

Thanks to Ms. Kuchmak for sharing this activity with us. Great observations, scientists!
