This powerPoint about Light and Dark can help children to begin to understand the relationship between all living things and the sun; our need of light and the sun. This PowerPoint can help pupils learn or revise some aspects of the Y1/Y2 curriculum providing continuity of learning, and setting the context for Y3 work.
Simply explained, children will learn:
- Darkness is the absence of light
- The sun is the main source of light on Planet Earth
- Reminds pupils never to look directly at the sun
- The sun provides warmth too - or Earth would be very cold
- Why plants need the sun: to make food to help them reproduce
- Creatures of the day (the need for survival)
- Shadows - how they are formed
- Plants and animals that prefer the shade and why (the need for survival)
- Creatures of the night
