Experiment - How Light Travels (Year 6 - Full Lesson)

Introducing our comprehensive Year 6 science resource on conducting an experiment to discover how light travels. This PowerPoint and lesson plan guide students through the entire experimental process, including detailed explanations of the equipment needed, the method, making predictions, and recording results. The PowerPoint provides step-by-step instructions and visual aids to ensure students understand each part of the experiment.

The resource also includes worksheets for students to record their findings and write up the experiment.
