This is an amazing 1 minute video of shadow puppets. It is AWESOME :)
The simulation allows the students to try to solve a crime as they learn about and experiment with the nature of light. Students are awarded points based on their correct answers to questions during the simulation and their ability to correctly solve the crime. (S4P1a,b.)

Although these flipped classrooms give students an edge, they may also give their teachers a headache! Don’t worry, I’m here to show you 13 simple ways to ‘techify’ your existing lesson plans.
Students are provided with an understanding of sound and light waves through a 'sunken treasure' theme—a continuous storyline throughout the lessons. In the first five lessons, students learn about sound, and in the rest of the lessons, they explore light concepts. To begin, students are introduced to the concepts of longitudinal and transverse waves. Then they learn about wavelength and amplitude in transverse waves. In the third lesson, students learn about sound through the introduction of frequency and how it applies to musical sounds. Next, they learn all about echolocation—what it is and how engineers use it to 'see' things in the dark or deep underwater. The last of the five sound lessons introduces acoustics; students learn how different materials reflect and absorb sound.
This Science Weekly Five supplemental stations unit is all about light and sound energy, including
Light Absorption, Reflection, Refraction
Video and Quiz
An interactive track on which children can explore How we see things and how light is reflected with mirrors.
Lots of Light resources and external links for extension activities.
