S1P1

In the last unit, students explored animal behaviors of parents and offspring that help the offspring survive and then designed a dam to stop the flow of water. In this unit, students explore the science phenomena of how animals communicate with one another using sound.

In the last unit, students explored the relationship between vibrations and sound. In this unit, students continue to explore the phenomena of human senses, focusing on how objects can be seen when they are illuminated by a source of light, and how light passes through opaque, transparent, and translucent materials differently. Students then investigate how a beam of light changes when it hits a mirror.

In this unit, students explore the science phenomena of light and the relationship between sight and light. In this lesson, students carry out an investigation to observe how materials with different properties interact with light in various ways.

In the last unit, students explore how objects can be seen when they are illuminated by a source of light and how light passes through opaque, transparent, and translucent materials differently. In this unit, students apply what they have learned about light and sound to design a solution that can be used to communicate over a distance. 

In this unit, students explore the science phenomena of sound by analyzing our senses and how we perceive sound. Once students have explored the relationship between sound and vibrations, they move on to discovering how musical instruments produce sound.
