Let’s solve this science worksheet step by step.

## 🔍 Understanding the Key Terms:

Before filling in the blanks, let’s define the three types of materials based on how light travels through them:

- Transparent: Allows all light to pass through clearly. You can see objects clearly through it.
→ Example: glass

- Translucent: Allows some light to pass through, but not clearly — objects appear blurry or fuzzy.
→ Example: tissue paper

- Opaque: Allows no light to pass through. You cannot see through it at all.
→ Example: apple

## ✏️ FILL IN THE BLANKS:

We are to choose from these words:
`transparent`, `tissue paper`, `opaque`, `glass`, `translucent`, `apple`

---

1. Some light passes through _______________

→ This describes a translucent material.
✔ Answer: translucent

*(Note: “tissue paper” is an example of translucent, but the blank asks for the *type* of material, not the example.)*

---

2. A transparent material _______________

→ We need to describe what a transparent material does.
→ It allows all light to pass through.
✔ Answer: allows all light to pass through *(but since we must pick from the box, and “glass” is the only example of transparent material listed, we use that as the answer — assuming the question wants the example.)*

Wait — let’s re-read the instructions:
> “Fill in the blank with the correct word from the box.”

So we must choose one word from the box.

Looking again at the sentence:
“2. A transparent material _______________”

This seems incomplete grammatically — likely it’s asking for an *example* of a transparent material.

✔ So: glass

---

3. An opaque material _______________

→ Again, likely asking for an *example*.
✔ Answer: apple

---

4. All light passes through _______________

→ This describes a transparent material.
✔ Answer: transparent

*(Again, “glass” is the example, but “transparent” is the property — since the sentence says “passes through ___”, it’s describing the *type*, so “transparent” fits best.)*

But wait — if we look at #5: “No light passes through ___” — that would be “opaque”.

So #4 should be “transparent” (the type), and #5 “opaque” (the type).

✔ So:
- #4: transparent
- #5: opaque

---

5. No light passes through _______________

✔ Answer: opaque

---

6. A translucent material _______________

→ Again, likely asking for an *example*.
✔ Answer: tissue paper

---

## 🖼️ LABEL THE PICTURES:

There are 3 cubes with stars inside:

1. Left cube: The star is NOT visible at all → Opaque
2. Middle cube: The star is clearly visible → Transparent
3. Right cube: The star is visible but blurry/faint → Translucent

✔ So labels:

- Left: opaque
- Middle: transparent
- Right: translucent

---

## ✔ FINAL ANSWERS:

Fill in the blanks:

1. Some light passes through → translucent
2. A transparent material → glass
3. An opaque material → apple
4. All light passes through → transparent
5. No light passes through → opaque
6. A translucent material → tissue paper

Label the pictures:

- Left cube → opaque
- Middle cube → transparent
- Right cube → translucent
