//5.1.b. Light is a form of energy that travels in a straight line and can be reflected by a mirror, refracted by a lens, or absorbed by objects.// || Investigate how light is refracted as it passes through a lens or through one transparent material to another. Demonstrate that white light is composed of many colors.

 * 5.3 — Most objects in the solar system are in a regular and predictable motion.

//5.3.a. The positions of the Earth and moon relative to the sun explain the cycles of day and night, and the monthly moon phases.// || 4. Observe and record the moon’s appearance over time and analyze findings to describe the cyclical changes in its appearance from Earth (moon phases).

5. Relate the moon phases to changes in the moon’s position relative to the Earth and sun during its 29-day revolution around the Earth.

__CMT Correlation:__ //B23. Describe the monthly changes in the appearance of the moon, based on the moon’s orbit around the Earth.// || Video: [] (cycles of the moon) Making a calendar showing the moon's appearance each night ||
 * 5.4 — Humans have the capacity to build and use tools to advance the quality of their lives.

//5.4.a. Advances in technology allow individuals to acquire new information about the world.// || 1. Generalize that optical tools, such as binoculars, telescopes, eyeglasses or periscopes, change the path of light by reflecting or refracting it.

6. Analyze the similarities and differences between structures of the human eye and those of a simple camera.

__CMT Correlations:__ // B24. Compare and contrast the structures of the human eye with those of the camera. //

//B25. Describe the uses of different instruments, such as eyeglasses, magnifiers, periscopes and telescopes, to enhance our vision.// || Building their own periscopes and other visual tools ||
