This document describes two experiments that demonstrate how light travels. In the first experiment, the student is able to see the light from a flashlight pass through aligned holes in three cards. In the second experiment, with the cards not aligned, the student cannot see the light pass through. This shows that light travels in a straight line. The document is asking a student to record their observations of the experiments and answer questions about light.

Light Lab 1 How does light travel? Experiment #1
Procedure: 1. Set up Cards 1, 2, and 3 in order, about 5-10 cm apart from each other. Make sure your cards are in a straight line so that the holes line up. 2. Hold a piece of black paper up after card 3. 3. Hold the flashlight up to the hole in card 1. 4. Turn the flashlight on. 5. Record your observations.
Observations: Draw what you saw in the box below. Make sure to be detailed. Include the cards, flashlight, and black paper in your drawing.
Remove the piece of black paper and look through the hole in card 3. Were you able to see the flashlight and the light it emits? Circle your answer below.
Yes No
Experiment #2
Procedure: 1. Set up Cards 1, 4, and 3 in order, about 5-10 cm apart from each other. Make sure your cards line up. The holes will not line up. 2. Hold a piece of black paper up after card 3. 3. Hold the flashlight up to the hole in card 1. 4. Turn the flashlight on. 5. Record your observations.
Observations: Draw what you saw in the box below. Make sure to be detailed. Include the cards, flashlight, black paper, and the lights path in your drawing.
Remove the piece of black paper and look through the hole in card 3. Were you able to see the flashlight and the light it emits? Circle your answer below.
