This complete lesson explains what reflection is and how light moves in straight lines. It looks at how reflective materials are used as safety children to test which materials reflect the light the best After the test they are going to answer some comprehension questions on what they have learnt

This includes six session, these include: lesson 1 - light steps to success- Recognise that you need light in order to see things and that dark is the absence of light. Know that there are natural sources of light and man made sources. Explain that you need light in order to see things. Know the meaning of different idioms related to light. lesson 2 - reflective surfaces steps to success - Explain reflection. Identify reflective materials. Select the most reflective material for a purpose. lesson 3 - sun safety steps to success - Explain the benefits and dangers of the sun. Explain about UV light and its dangers. Describe ways to protect our eyes from the sun. lesson 4 - rainbows steps to success - Know that white light consists of seven colours - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Know that a rainbow occurs when it is sunny and raining. Know that light can be separated into different colours with a prism. lesson 5 - shadows steps to success - Explain how light travels. Know what opaque, translucent and transparent means. Sort different materials depending on if they are opaque, translucent or transparent. lesson 6 - changing shadows - this is an investigation on how a shadow changes when you move the light source further away. steps to success - Explain how a shadow is formed. Plan and set up an investigation into the way shadows change size. Observe patterns in the way shadows change size. Explain the patterns I find. Each lesson has idioms included related to light and these are recapped each session. These are available individually if wanted. please check out my shop :)

This is an investigation: how do shadows change when the distance between the light source and the object changes? Firstly it talks about how we make shadows and what a shadow is. It then goes through the investigation step by step - starting with the question, what equipment, how to make it a fair test (looking at independent and dependent variables), the results and then the conclusion. It takes the children through step by step as they write it up in their books along the way.

This lesson explains how light travels in straight lines looks at opaque, translucent and transparent and what each of them means. children have to complete an activity where they have to test different materials and put them in a table depedending if they are opaque, translucent or transparent

This is one full lesson with cloze procedure at the end. Included is a discussion on what light is. how light is a form of energy Looks at man made and natural sources of light including bioluminescence in animals. Also how the moon is not a light source. Includes what is dark. At the end there is a cloze procedure which is differentiated three ways.

This powerpoint explains the benefits and dangers of the sun. It explains what UV light is and its dangers. looks at how the eye responds to light Looks at how we can protect our eyes from these rays. has a comprehension at the end as well as a hands on task through the powerpoint where they have to look at a partners eys and how it changes to the light.

This lesson discusses white light and how it splits into seven colours. Know what a rainbow is and how it occurs. looks at how a prism splits the light. includes the mnemonic Richard of york gave battle in vane - to help them remember the order of the rainbow What rainbows represent through history Questions for the children to answer after the powerpoint
