Sound and Light Concepts Assessment

In this virtual science class for Grade 4, Teacher Edge reviews the properties of light, sound, and heat. The lesson includes a multiple-choice review, an exploration of sound characteristics, and a discussion on light and vision. Students engage in a true or false exercise to reinforce their understanding of the concepts. Key topics include the behavior of sound waves, the nature of light, and how we perceive non-luminous objects.

How does light travel?

• In a straight line

• In waves
