About This Reader
This audio-integrated reading passage introduces Grade 4 students to the physical science concept of how lenses bend light to form images, aligned with NGSS standard PS4.B. Students explore how the human eye uses a lens to focus light onto the retina and discover why some people need eyeglasses to see clearly. The passage explains in simple, age-appropriate language how eyeglass lenses refract light to correct focusing problems, helping images land exactly on the retina. Through real-world examples and clear explanations, students build foundational understanding of light behavior and lens function. The passage includes bolded vocabulary terms with immediate definitions, making complex optical concepts accessible to fourth graders. Accompanying activities include comprehension questions, writing prompts, and graphic organizers that reinforce understanding of cause-and-effect relationships in vision correction. This resource supports hands-on investigations and classroom discussions about light, lenses, and how technology helps solve human problems.
