Provide flashlights and various materials such as clear plastic wrap, aluminum foil, tissue paper, cardboard, construction paper, cloth, transparency sheets and wax paper. Ask the children which materials the light will pass through. Show the children that some materials allow light to shine through and others do not. Introduce the vocabulary words “opaque” and “transparent.” For example, light will shine through white construction paper but not black construction paper.This could be done in large group.
