In science we have been using our senses to make observations about objects. We have also been learning new vocabulary terminology to describe these objects more precisely to others.
One of the new terms we used have to do with opacity. Opacity is how much light passes through an object. If you can completely see through something, like glass, it is transparent. If you can see light shining through something, but not shapes through it, it is translucent. For example, frosted glass is translucent because you can't see outside or inside when glass is frosted.
Can you think of something that is translucent? Answer in the comments below!
