Mrs. Hoge ~ Science ~ Week of April 9th

We've been exploring  light energy the last two weeks and have been learning about how light is transmitted as well as how light  reflects and refracts.  Vocabulary to know: reflection, refraction, absorption, transparent, translucent, and opaque.  Today we did and investigation using a prism to divide white light into the colors of the spectrum.  Ask your child to share his or her knowledge with you! 

There will be a vocabulary quiz Friday, April 13th on the above vocabulary. We'll review tomorrow in class and students will have a study guide to help them prepare.

It is your child's responsibility to write updated assignments in his/her agenda each day during class. Please review your child's agenda each night.
