Big Idea: I can understand that energy can be transferred as both a particle and a wave.
Content Competency: I can know about the...
Properties of light, particularly that it acts like both a wave and a particle, wavelength, amplitude, frequency. [Week 1 - 3]
Behaviours of light, particularly about reflection, refraction, absorption, transmission, scattering images formed by lenses and mirrors, effects of translucent, transparent, and opaque objects. [Week 4 - 6]

Curricular Competency:
I can make observations aimed at identifying my own questions about light. [Week 1]
I can make observations of my experiment to help me further understand the properties of light. [Week 2]
I can use my prior scientific knowledge to identify relationships between the conceptual understanding of the light and experiential understanding of the light. [Week 2]
I can communicate ideas, findings, and solutions to questions about the properties of light by using scientific language. [Week 2]
I can demonstrate a sustained intellectual curiosity about eye diseases and the function of eyes. [Week 4]
