SHINE A LIGHT PROJECT DESCRIPTION
SHINE A LIGHT PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Shine a Light project engages students in physical science explorations of light. Students explore what light does, where it comes from, and what happens when we shine light on different materials. Students work in teams and become actors, lighting designers, cinematographers, and directors as they create a shadow puppet show to showcase their year in first grade as curious, creative, changemakers.
