Light Assessment

This science assessment teaching pack for Key Stage Two can be used to assess abilities in exploring and modelling concepts about how light is produced and how it can travel through different materials.

The class can record and review their understanding of the concept and knowledge connected to the topic about how shadows are created, how light travels in straight lines and how people see colour.

Download this teaching pack including a medium term plan, assessment test and an evaluation activity to assess abilities in exploring and modelling concepts about how light is produced and how it can travel through different materials

Activities in this teaching pack include an assessment test to assess understanding of light complete with a marking scheme and matching record sheet and a worksheet to help the children assess their own progress for the National Curriculum programmes of study about how light is produced and how it can travel through different materials.

This lesson is part of a science scheme of work to get the children to explore and model concepts about how light is produced and how it can travel through different materials. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
