How We See Objects
我们如何看见物体
Description
Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen
Mastery Evidence
- Draw a diagram showing light source → light hits object → reflects into eye
- Explain that we see objects because reflected light enters our eyes, not because our eyes send out light
- Use this model to explain why we can't see in total darkness (no light to reflect)
Assessment Prompt
Can your child draw a diagram showing how light bounces off a book and enters your eye, which is how you actually see the book?
