Engage: See, Think, Wonder - Day 1

Introduction

Today you will begin a new unit where you will explore the nature of light. In our first lesson, you will engage in a “See, Think, Wonder” where you will observe images of light that are selected to lead you to wonder about the nature of light. Then, you will share your observations and wonderings with your peers in a discussion post.
