    Essential Learning Outcomes

    ELO1
    Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.
    ELO2
    Make observations to construct an evidence-based account, that objects can be seen only when illuminated.
    ELO3
    Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light.
    ELO4
    Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance.
