As sixth graders dig deeper into their understanding of how light plays a role in how they see an object, it's important that students also understand what happens to light when it hits an object.
Currently, our consensus model shows what happens when we see an object. But in an investigation involving a flashlight, hand, and screen, students recognized that they saw more than an object. They saw a shadow, too. Our consensus model does not show how we see a shadow and should therefore be revised.
Check back soon to see how our model changes based on new evidence we've gathered!
