What Can I Spy? Light Levels Interactive Activity

Help your students discover how we see the world around us with this fun, I Spy – Light Levels Interactive Activity! This resource is perfect for helping your students observe and explore how adding light makes objects much easier to spot, making it ideal for introducing them to light, visibility, and scientific observation.

In this hands-on digital game, students follow fun clues to hunt down hidden items across a series of realistic pictures. Each image is shown at three different brightness levels, giving kids a front-row seat to see how visibility shifts as light changes.
