100

This is what a mirror does to light.

What is it reflects light?

100

This is what refraction does.

What is it bends light?

100

This type of material lets all light pass through it clearly.

What is transparent?

100

This is how you can sort objects as transparent, translucent, or opaque.

How light passes through materials?

100

This tool could be used to send light across a field.

What is a Flashlight?

200

This is what happens to light in a mirror.

What is reflected?

200

This is why a straw looks bent in water.

What is light is refracted?

200

This material lets some light through but not clear images.

What is translucent?

200

This is what happens when light hits an opaque object?

What is the light is blocked.

200

This object helps ships avoid land using light.

What is a Lighthouse?

300

A mirror shows a clear image because it reflects light in this way.

What is at the same angle?

300

Light waves slow down and change direction (appearing bent) when passing from one transparent material to another.

What is refraction?

300

This material blocks all light.

What is opaque?

300

This happens when light hits a smooth mirror surface.

What is it reflects at the same angle.

300

This is a safety device that uses light to control traffic.

What is a traffic light?

400

This type of surface reflects light in many directions.

What is a rough surface?

400

This tool can create a rainbow by bending light.

What is a prism?

400

clear glass, wax paper, wood

What is transparent, translucent, and opaque.

400

This object shows refraction. (mirror, prism, or wall)

What is a Prism?

400

This a why light signals useful for communication.


What is they can be seen over long distances?

500

This is why objects look backward in a mirror.

What is light reflects off the mirror?

500

This is what happens to light when it moves from air to water.

What is bends or refracts?
500

Objects that are able to be seen.

What is visible?

500

When light does not pass through or reflect from a material.

What is absorption?

500

This is the difference between reflection and refraction.

What is 

  • Reflection = light bounces off a surface
  • Refraction = light bends when passing through materials
