Students will explore sound, light, reflection, shadows, vibrations, and collisions through safe demonstrations, record initial evidence and questions, and establish expectations for an interactive science museum exhibit.

Students will turn observations of vibrations, echoes, shadows, reflections, and collisions into focused questions and testable predictions. They will compare safe methods, develop labeled models and evidence-recording tools, and use two rounds of peer feedback to revise an investigation plan before proceeding to data collection.

Students will conduct sound, collision, shadow, and reflection investigations; document conditions and observations; revise methods and models through peer feedback; and complete a quality checkpoint before analyzing their evidence.

Students will analyze investigation evidence, identify patterns and limitations, build evidence-based explanations, and use two rounds of peer feedback to revise their interactive sound-and-light museum exhibits before the Showcase.

Students will present and defend their interactive sound-and-light exhibits to an authentic audience, respond to questions with evidence, and complete an individual reflection documenting how investigation, feedback, and collaboration changed their understanding.
