Light & Sound | Vocabulary

In our inquiry session we were learning about the vocabulary of light and sound. Sound is the vibrations that can be heard by someone or something. Light is energy that makes things visible.

We first aligned words to the correct meaning. For example a word was transparent. We connected the meaning which was 'light can travel through'. My group and I understood the meaning because we had prior knowledge of transparent. There were three sites that could help us understand the defintion of the words.

Our second activity was to find, draw, animate and act four words from the vocabulary list. We found photos of the words prism, pigment, laser and photon and wrote the definition of it. We drew the a picture of the words vibrate and reflect. We animated the words that we couldn't get a picture of which was vibration and echo. Then for act we made a video of words pigment and decibels that we also could not find a picture of.

I enjoyed this activity and learned the meaning of some words.
