Your discovery goal
Compare the same toy with less and more light, and describe how the light changes what you can see.
A little help from a grown-up
Before you begin
A grown-up makes a small viewing hole in one end and a flap in the lid, tapes rough edges, and puts cutting tools away. In a lit room, check that the toy can be seen through the hole with the flap open.
Let’s give it a try.
Tick each step as you go. There’s no rush to wonder.
Pause and wonder
What did you discover?
Describe your own observations. More light usually makes the toy easier to see. If you can see it with the flap shut, some light is still getting in.
