4 - PS4.B - Light Reflection - FINAL (WND 1/21/14)

Module: Light Reflection
DCI: PS4.B Electromagnetic Radiation – An object can be seen when light reflected from its surface enters the eyes.

PE: 4-PS4-2 Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen.

[Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include knowledge of specific colors reflected and seen, the cellular mechanisms of vision, or how the retina works.]

The ideas that we see here are: 
- we can see objects only when light is present
- light is reflected from the surface of the object and enters our eyes

Possible Question Starters:

"An object can only be seen if -"
