# S4P1: Light and Object Interactions

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the nature of light and how light interacts with objects.

- Subject: Science
- Appears in: Grade 4, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/science/grade-4.md

## Expectations

- **S4P1.a**: Plan and carry out investigations to observe and record how light interacts with various materials to classify them as opaque, transparent, or translucent.
- **S4P1.b**: Plan and carry out investigations to describe the path light travels from a light source to a mirror and how it is reflected by the mirror using different angles.
- **S4P1.c**: Plan and carry out an investigation utilizing everyday materials to explore examples of when light is refracted.
