LIGHT!

Read the Passage, then answer the following questions. Light is a form of energy that moves in a straight line until it strikes an object or travels from one medium to another.We get light naturally from the Sun. When light hits a shiny object it can be reflected or bounced back, like a mirror. Some tinted objects, like car windows or sunglasses, also can reflect light.Sometimes light passes through an object and is refracted or bent. This can make a rainbow or make things look different than they really are. Refraction can also happen when light passes through different mediums like air and water. When light is refracted in water, it can make objects look bent, broken or larger than they really are. Lenses, like the glass in eye glasses, also refract light. Light can also be absorbed, or soaked up, by materials. Dark colored materials absorb more light and this causes them to heat up faster than lighter colored materials. Remember! Light travels in a straight line until it hits or passes through something, and can be reflected or refracted. Match the description with the correct word.
