This year for homeschool we are doing units for science rather than a purchased curriculum. I looked at the Next Generation Science Standards and divided the standards into units that made sense together. Then I broke those down even farther into units that made sense for my learner.
Books used throughout:
Transparent and Opaque
Why it Works Light and Dark
Shadows
Standards:
1-PS4-2 Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that objects in darkness can be seen only when illuminated
1-PS4-3 Plan and conduct investigations to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light.

1-PS4-4 - Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance.
- Communication over distances lab from UVU SEEdPods (pages 26-29)
- Writing messages with UV pens.
Bioluminescence
When we finished all the standard related things, we spent some time learning about bioluminescence.
We found this great video from Soul Sparklette's for a blacklight art project.
