STEM in this lesson

STEM this week is Five senses: sight: look, write a fact, label a guess, then test one change.

Hold onto these
  • We see with our eyes.
  • Eyes need light to see. In a dark room we see very little.
  • Never look right at the sun. It can hurt your eyes.
This week’s lesson

Scientists look closely. They notice color, shape, and size.

A hand lens makes small things look bigger.

Watch one worked example
  1. Look at an apple.
  2. Color: red.
  3. Shape: round.
  4. Size: fits in my hand.
  5. I observed the apple!
Now you try — with me

Go on a color hunt. Find something red, blue, and yellow at home.

The usual mistake

Looking at the sun to see it better.

Why this shows up in real life

Eyes help us cross the street safely and read books.
