Shining Light on Science

Help me give my students the flashlights we need to do experiments for our light and sound unit in science.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Collins's classroom raised $173

My Project

In my fourth grade classroom we do multiple experiments where we use flashlights to study all about light. We study how light travels, light's behavior with different materials, the basic properties of light and light as a form of energy.

We will use these flashlights to help us understand and experience first hand all of the cool things light can do.

These flashlights will help enhance the educational value of these lessons on light by giving my students the ability to explore all of the concepts about light first hand.
