Sixth graders are using light boxes to establish the conditions for sight. Keeping the box closed, students discovered that they couldn't see anything in the box. Once the flap was opened, they could see the small toy that Mrs. Brinza put inside.
We'll be using these ideas to continue to ask questions just like real scientists do, as well as begin to develop a working model for this phenomenon.
