Year 3 Science- Light and Shadow

Our topic this term is Light and Shadow and so we have started to look at items that are Transparent, Translucent and Opaque. The task was to see how transparent different materials are using a torch. The question being, ‘If the light source gets through the material in question, is it still classed as transparent?’ This was a tricky one as you cannot see through a tissue, but the torch shone through it easily!
