Content Standard(s):
Science 3 ) Investigate materials to determine which types allow light to pass through (e.g., transparent materials such as clear plastic wrap), allow only partial light to pass through (e.g., translucent materials such as wax paper), block light (e.g., opaque materials such as construction paper), or reflect light (e.g., shiny materials such as aluminum foil).

shiny Knowledge:
Students know:
Some materials allow all light to pass through.
Some materials allow partial light to pass through.
Some materials block all the light from passing through.
Some materials reflect light, which changes its direction. Skills:
Students are able to:
Investigate to determine the effect of placing objects made of different materials in a beam of light. Understanding:
Students understand that:
Simple tests can gather evidence to determine that placing different materials in a beam of light will cause light to either: pass through, partially pass through, block, or reflect. AMSTI Resources:

Venue Skill Examples:
Work with a partner or small group to create an artwork.
Use the book Perfect Square by Michael Hall to help "thinking outside the box" skills.
Create two-dimensional artworks using a variety of gadgets for printmaking.
Use paint media to create paintings of family portraits or a favorite memory.
Create three-dimensional artworks such as clay pinch pots or found-object sculptures.
View a step-by-step demonstration of an artistic technique.
Properly clean and store art materials.
Use Mouse Paint book by Helen Walsh to teach color mixing of primary to achieve secondary colors.
Create a painting inspired by Piet Mondrian's Broadway Boogie Woogie .
Create a "Pop Art" inspired artwork of positive and negative spaces and shapes by using colored paper cut-outs and gluing to different background squares.
Make a color wheel and identify the complimentary colors (red and green, blue and orange, yellow and purple).
Draw different forms in the school environment: cones in the gym, cubes in math center, and sphere used for a globe.
Create texture rubbings by placing paper over different surfaces and rubbing with a crayon or oil pastel. Use a rough brick wall, a smooth table, bumpy bubble wrap, or soft felt shapes.
Use repetition in art by looking at the designs on a shell or the stripes of a zebra for inspiration.
