Light Energy: 5 Science Partner Play Scripts with a Comprehension Worksheet

These six light energy partner plays are intended to be used as fluency-building activities that 4th and 5th grade students can read and complete with a partner. Plus, since I received requests for more scripts that focus on scientific concepts, this set of scripts targets light energy concepts, including light sources, reflection, refraction, concave and convex lenses, colors, and prisms.

It also includes a BONUS comprehension worksheet. After reading each script, students answer two or three comprehension questions that accompany that particular script.

This resource is available in multiple formats. Each teacher gets to choose the format that best meets his/her students' needs. You will choose between the printable partner plays and the paperless version that uses Google Slides. Each script is exactly two pages, making it easy to print them back-to-back on a single page.

These scripts require minimal teacher support, thereby allowing teachers to work with other small groups. For teachers who implement reading centers, these plays are perfect. These scripts are also ideal for parents who are looking for fun at-home reading activities that parents and children can read together. If you have a child who is reluctant to read at home, I encourage you to give these scripts a try!

This set includes these six independent scripts:

• Light Sources (examples of sources & how light waves move)
• The Door Dilemma (opaque, transparent & translucent)
• Reflections (what causes them and smooth vs. bumpy surfaces)
• Bent, but Not Broken (refraction)
• Concave and Convex Lenses (their shapes and uses)
• Splitting Light (prisms, why objects are certain colors- absorption and reflection)

Here's what teachers like you had to say about using these partner plays with their students:

⭐️ Amanda R. said, "What a wonderful resource this was to help engage my students during our Light unit!"

⭐️ Denise L. said, "My 5th graders really love finishing up a unit with partner plays. I like the variety of topics that incorporate vocabulary and real-life applications."

⭐️ Lori B. said, "These partner plays are the best of both worlds.....content (science, etc.) AND drama/read to someone! Excellent!"

⭐️ Wiley Teaching said, "I love all of the partner plays from Deb and these are no exception. Students love practicing and performing. The comprehension questions keep students engaged and listening while other partners are performing."
