What’s Hiding In The Dark? Light Game for Kindergartners

Understanding how light affects what we can see is an important part of early science learning. What’s Hiding In The Dark? Light Game helps young learners explore the differences between bright, dim, and dark environments while developing observation and prediction skills. 

As students play What’s Hiding In The Dark? Light Game, they discover that increasing light levels makes it easier to identify objects and gather visual information about the world around them.
