What Can Light Shine Through?

We asked ourselves this question the other day.  We then spent some time shining our flashlights on lots of different objects, which led to some interesting conversations.  We found some objects that appeared to have translucent and transparent parts, leading us to think about objects in our home that may contain elements of both.  This investigation also led us to new questions.  Is colored glass translucent?  Or is it just colored transparency?  Does colored glass "block" light like other translucent objects?  Or does it just allow certain colors to go through?  Great questions!
