Science: We took notes in our minibooks and played a game to review for the science test on Monday. The test will assess these concepts:

- White light is made of millions of different colors;
- Prisms separate white light; filters block colors of light;
- Light moves in straight lines;

- Shadows grow larger when the light source is closer to the object; they grow longer when the light is on the side of the object.
