About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students use observations to explain when light makes an object visible.
  • Students distinguish objects that give off light from objects lit by another source.
  • Students predict how changing the light changes which objects can be seen.

How to use

Read the notes and questions aloud. Pictures identify the objects, not what was visible in each test. Have students explain choices using the test letters.

Two Objects to Find

Nia visits a science museum's touch-and-look booth. A sock and a rock sit in separate viewing boxes. Visitors look through small holes. No daylight enters. An adult moves a battery lamp between the boxes. Its light reaches one box at a time.

The objects stay in place. Nia uses the same viewing holes. She checks what she can see.

Test A: No light enters either box. She sees neither object.
Test B: Light shines on the sock. She sees the sock, but not the rock.
Test C: Light shines on the rock instead. She sees the rock, but not the sock.

Objects in the boxes:
