Light - Introduction Lesson (Lesson 1 - Year 6)

An introductory lesson to light in Year 6. Initially, children will spend time recapping what they can remember from the previous time they studied light before then moving on to considering what light is and what dark is. Children will then think about different light sources and grouping these as well as thinking about why mirrors and the moon aren’t light sources. This will then move on to considering opaque, transparent and translucent and why we get shadows before finishing with a quick mini-quiz.
