Lesson Plan Content
Description:
In this lesson, students will learn that some materials allow light to pass through them, others allow only some light through, and others block all the light and create a dark shadow or shade on any surface beyond them. Students will be given the task of making an effective shade that will block sunlight and keep an area cooler. This lesson contains adaptations for diverse learners (ELLs).
