Thank you for a great discussion on our October Community Meeting. If you were not on the call, please watch the meeting recordinghttp://connectpro35337274.adobeconnect.com/pmt9ceorwsoe/. You will find the PPT slides attached and on the Leap into Science websitehttp://leap.fi.edu/.

Light & Shadows Curriculum Description
Below you will find the language we are using to promote the Light & Shadows curriculum. Please feel free to use this in your outreach for trainings.

The Light and Shadow workshops invite children and families to explore how light interacts with objects and surfaces.

In the preschool workshop, children investigate the basic concepts that a shadow happens when an object blocks light from shining on a surface, and that making changes to the object or the light source will change the shadow. Children look for shadows in their environment and then explore making and changing shadows using individual flashlights and several different types of objects.

The elementary workshop expands on these ideas to explore the spatial relationship between light, object and shadow in more depth and investigate which aspects of a three-dimensional object are—or are not—represented by its shadow. Children are challenged to match a series of shadow shapes by creating a structure from blocks that will produce the same shadow. Then they explore creating shadow shapes of their own for others to match.

The family workshop includes stations based on the elementary and preschool activities, but also introduces additional ideas about light’s interaction with objects with stations exploring reflection, color mixing, and transparence vs. translucence.

If you haven’t done so already, please register for the Light & Shadows Curriculum Traininghttp://ngcproject.org/event/leap-into-science-light-and-shadows-curriculum-training and encourage your educators to do so, as well! Eight of you have already registered since the call ended! Thank you!
