Objective: The student will be able to work cooperatively within an assigned group to create a poster that classifies objects into groups: transparent, translucent, and opaque.

Objective: The student will be able to examine and sort objects into groupings: transparent, translucent, and opaque using the characteristics of each object.

Procedure: 1. Prior to the start of the activity- assign students into cooperative groups. Each group member will draw sticks (with students names) to determine jobs for the group activity: materials person, 2-postercreators, 1 presenter. 2. Explain the requirements for each group: each group will create a poster that shows three separate categories: translucent, opaque, and transparent. Each category should have a title and the objects that belong in the category will be glued or taped in place. Students must work cooperatively and sort the objects according to their properties into the correct category. The two poster creators will attach objects to the poster. 3. The presenter will orally explain the categories they chose for each object and the whole group will answer or respond to class questions. 4. Each group will also share with the class how “cooperatively” their group worked together.

Materials: tissue paper, Kleenex, wax paper, foil, Styrofoam, cardboard, plastic wrap, sandwich wrap, construction paper, paper plate, erasers, wrapping paper, ribbon, and any other small materials for each category
