Identifying transparent and opaque objects in Materials and Things – Class 6 Science Experiment

Chapter Name:  Materials and Things

Activity Name: Identifying transparent and opaque objects in  Materials and Things

Activity Description:

The experiment involves identifying objects around you and determining whether they are transparent or opaque. You will create a table listing the objects and indicate their transparency or opacity.

Required Items:

• Objects around you

Step by Step Procedure:

1. Take a pen and paper or open a document on your computer to create a table.
2. Look around your immediate surroundings and identify various objects.
3. Write down the names of the objects in the “Objects” column of the table.
4. Examine each object and determine whether it is transparent or opaque.
5. In the “Transparent” column of the table, write “Transparent” if the object allows light to pass through and is see-through.
6. In the “Opaque” column of the table, write “Opaque” if the object does not allow light to pass through and is not see-through.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for each object you identified, filling in the table accordingly.
8. Repeat steps 4-6 for each object you identified, filling in the table accordingly.

Experiment Observations:

Record your observations in the table by marking each object as transparent or opaque based on their properties.

Precautions:

• Handle objects carefully to avoid any accidents or breakages.
• Be cautious when examining objects to avoid any sharp or dangerous items.
• If unsure about the transparency or opacity of an object, you can hold it against a light source to determine its property.

Lesson Learnt from Experiment:

Through this experiment, you will learn to distinguish between transparent and opaque objects. Transparent objects allow light to pass through and are see-through, while opaque objects do not allow light to pass through and are not see-through.

This understanding of transparency and opacity is essential in understanding the properties of different materials and their applications in various fields.
