Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Electromagnetic Radiation. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

Mirrors and other shiny surfaces reflect beams of light, causing light to bounce off of them in a different direction.

Some objects, such as the sun or a flashlight, emit light.

Light cannot pass through an opaque material.

Light rays typically travel in a straight line until they strike an object.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

How does light usually travel? What happens to light when it reaches a surface? If you are wearing a red sweater, what color does your sweater reflect? If you are wearing a red sweater, what colors does your sweater absorb?

After the Game

Which color combinations were in the game that produced a third color? What did you learn about the way light bounces off surfaces? At what angle does light reflect once it bounces off a surface? What happens to light when it passes through a transparent surface? What happens to light when it passes through an opaque surface? What is the difference between refraction and reflection?
